New foreign player Yensi Kindelan (23, Cuba) of women's professional volleyball team Hino Life has arrived in Korea and begun preparations for the new season.

According to Hino Life, Kindelan entered the country through Incheon International Airport on the 29th. After completing medical tests, she is scheduled to join the Hino Life squad starting in August.

Kindelan, a 188cm opposite spiker, was selected third overall by Hino Life through the KOVO foreign player draft and has made her debut in the V-League.

She began her playing career in Cuba before moving on to leagues in Turkey, Serbia, and Hungary. In the past two seasons, she played in Romania's league. She is capable of playing not only as an opposite spiker but also as a middle blocker.
