Megawatti Putti (27, Indonesia), the top hit product of the Asian quota, has returned. This time, she will join Suwon Hyundai E&C instead of Daejeon Gungnam.
Suwon Hyundai E&C announced on the 11th that it has completed its roster construction for the 2026-2027 season by signing Megawatti Putti, an opposite spiker and former Indonesian national team player.
As Megawatti has demonstrated top-tier league skills with powerful attacks and high scoring ability during her two seasons in the V-League from 2023 to 2025, her return is expected to be a key card that will further boost the firepower of the Hyundai E&C volleyball team.
Through this signing, the Hyundai E&C volleyball team has completed a powerful lineup to lead the new season. Jordan Wilson, an American outside hitter selected through the 2026 KOVO foreign player tryout, will be responsible for one side, while Megawatti will handle attacks on the opposite side as an opposite spiker. The club expects the synergy between the two players to not only stabilize the team's strength but also become a powerful weapon to neutralize opponents' defenses.
Megawatti expressed her ambition, saying, "It is a great honor to play for a traditional powerhouse like Hyundai E&C. I will do my best to help the team lift the championship trophy with a more matured performance in the V-League upon my return after a long time."
Kang Sung-hyung, Hyundai E&C's head coach, commented, "Megawatti is a player whose skills have already been verified in the league. She will be a great asset not only in strengthening the offense but also in executing team tactics. With the successful completion of our foreign player roster, we will now begin full preparations with the goal of achieving the best results."
On the 10th (Korea time), Hyundai E&C selected American outside hitter Jordan Wilson as the second overall pick in the 2026 KOVO tryout draft held at the Clarion Congress Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic, to select foreign players for the 2026-2027 V-League women's division.
Head coach Kang Sung-hyung stated, "I think we made a good choice by selecting a player we had been watching. I believe she fits well with Hyundai E&C's team identity. Above all, we prioritized her fundamentals. While there is some room for improvement in terms of power, I believe she can develop through practice." Wilson added, "I am very excited to meet Megawatti. Since I have always had good chemistry with my teammates both on and off the court, I am confident that I will show great synergy with Megawatti as well."
With the acquisition of two reliable side attackers, Hyundai E&C is now being evaluated as one of the strong championship contenders.
