Former youth national table tennis champion S. Fidel R. Snehit has signed a one-year contract with Polish First League Club UKS Villa Verde Olesno ahead of the upcoming season.
The Hyderabad-based paddler, who also picked a bronze in the last senior nationals, met the club owner Marek Tatarczuch on Sunday.
Snehit, who happens to be the only paddler from the Telugu-speaking state to play in the European league, said he was really excited to play in the league which is set to start in September this year.
“It is a new journey that would give me a great opportunity in terms of international match exposure,” said Snehit, a final year Mass Communication and Journalism student of St Joseph's College.
