Priority one for A.E. Komotini is to remain in the A1 Ethniki (\u03911 \u0395\u03b8\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u039a\u03b1\u03c4\u03b7\u03b3\u03bf\u03c1\u03af\u03b1), more commonly known as the Greek Volleyball League. The latest entrants to one of the world\u2019s top volleyball leagues know that they will be facing some of the best players in the world on a weekly basis, hence their decision to strengthen the squad through the addition of several new players.<\/p>

One of the key new players is Tevin Ferrel St Jean. No stranger to Greek volleyball, the Soufriere native previously played with Iraklis Chalkidas in 2016. Even though he was not given a second season with them, he kept his head up and kept working, and he says he was delighted to get the call to join Komotini.<\/p>

The 23-year-old central from Saint Lucia joined Komotini on Saturday morning (Jan. 12) as a replacement for Renan Santos, and was immediately used in the third and fourth sets against Kiffisia. Indeed, it was on his service game that Komotini managed to turn a 10-14 deficit to a 17-14 advantage, playing a catalytic role in winning the third set.<\/p>

St Jean explained that he \u201cwas supposed to be at a club in 2018, but there was a problem with the transfer. But now I\u2019m here. I am grateful to be back. Now let\u2019s get this work\u201d.\u00a0 From all reports, the third Saint Lucian to play professional volleyball in Greece has already been a big hit with his new club, its management, and his teammates.<\/p>

Always a favourite with his teams, St. Jean has in the past had very kind words for his fellow Saint Lucian pros, especially the man he considers a mentor, former Greek league MVP, Julian Bissette.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ve always looked up to those guys, guys like Jason [Octave], and Joe [Joseph Clercent], but Julian [Bissette] has always been like my favourite volleyballer in the world. And he has really been the person who has been really pushing me, and, you know, making sure I am a better person every day, and making sure I am mentally strong, especially to be going to Greece, because he knows how challenging it can be up there.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
