Kristers Landzāns, a candidate for Latvia's men's national volleyball team, is continuing his career in Finland, joining top-division club Tuto Volley in Turku. The club announced the move, noting that the contract with the Latvian player has been signed for one season.
The 21-year-old Landzāns plays as an opposite hitter. Last season he played for a club in Austria. Right now, his focus is on preparing for the European Championship finals, which are set to begin next week.
