The professional volleyball men's Uijeongbu KB Insurance Stars Volleyball Team quickly filled the vacancy of Mohammed Yaqoob (32), who returned home in the Asian quarter due to his personal history.

KB Insurance said on the 5th, "We recruited Indian national team outside heater Amit Gulia (registered name Amit) as an alternative Asian quarter foreign player in the 2025-2026 season."

According to the club, Amit is a 195cm tall player with excellent physical conditions and strength of elasticity, and is currently playing as a mainstay of the Indian national team. During the 2024-2025 season, he was recognized for his competitiveness by playing as a starting player in the Iranian league.

In particular, Amit played a decisive role in India's victory over Korea for the first time in 11 years in the group qualifying round at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games. At that time, he scored 24 points, the most by both teams, with a high attack success rate and stable receiving efficiency against South Korea.

An official from the KB Insurance club said, "We decided that Amit's skills proved in the international competition would be sufficient in the V-League, so we pushed for recruitment. Amit is a player with excellent stability in both offense and defense, and he is the right person to fill the needs of the current team."

"I will join the team during the season, but I will actively support it so that it can melt well into the team. He added that he will join the existing club team as soon as his contract expires and play on the court after mid-February.

Meanwhile, KB Insurance terminated its contract with Jakub, who returned to Bahrain in January due to a personal family affair. After checking through Jakub's agent, he confirmed that he decided to move to the geographically close Kuwait League because he needed more time to solve problems at home.
