Perpetual star KC Andrade joins powerhouse Cignal in Spikers' Turf
KC Andrade is taking his winning attitude to the next level as he joined a star-studded Cignal HD Spikers team in the 2025 Spikers' Turf competition.
The former University of Perpetual Help System DALTA middle blocker is the latest addition to the HD Spikers alongside other recruits in opposite spiker Jayrack Dela Noche, outside hitter Vince Maglinao, and Filipino-Canadian libero Lhexen Rabit.
Andrade is a proven winner in college, helping the ALTAs clinch a historic four-peat title run in NCAA Season 99, where he was named Best Middle Blocker together with Letran's Vince Himzon.
In the previous Season 100, Andrade and the ALTAs finished joint fifth with an identical 10-8 record with San Beda University.
'We're looking to continue to build on the Cignal HD brand of excellence for men's volleyball,' said HD Spikers head coach Dexter Clamor.
"Kami nga yung pinakamatagal na pro squad here sa Philippines and we're always looking for ways to improve. Hopefully, with these new additions, we'll be ready to defend our crown in the upcoming conferences."

At Cignal, the 24-year-old Andrade will reunite with his former Perpetual teammate and ex-NCAA MVP Louie Ramirez as they look to continue Cignal's winning formula next season.
Andrade, Dela Noche, Maglinao, and Rabit will bolster an already-stacked Cignal roster that features the likes of Bryan Bagunas, JP Bugaoan, Lloyd Josafat, Joshua Retamar, and Joshua Umandal.
Cignal is coming off a third straight title in the Open Conference after outlasting rival Criss Cross last April.
