BartoszKurek

Bartosz Kurek, 38, plays opposite for Tokyo Great Bears in the V.League and remains part of Poland's national team setup. Standing 2.07 m, he gives his side a high contact point at the net. His role is central to their attack from the right side.

His club career has crossed Poland, Russia, Italy and Turkey. He has played in Japan since 2020, adding another league to a career already spent in several European leagues. That experience shapes how he reads opposing blocks and defences and how he chooses his shots.

What to watch when Kurek competes: his opposite role means plenty of high-ball swings from the right, plus blocking duty at the net. He is also a link to Poland's national team, so his club form matters for that wider audience.
