After a season with Igor Novara with whom she won Scudetto in 2016/2017, Laura was without a contract. Now, she finally found a new team where she will play until 2019.
Laura will already have the first training and on Thursday she will be available to coach Caprara for the derby with Scandicci.
“I can not wait to start playing for Il Bisonte Firenze and I am very happy that this opportunity has happened to me. I love Italy, I like to compete in this championship and it has always been a goal for me to work with a great coach like Caprara. After the European Championships, I was in good shape working out in the national sports center of Papendal with the team of young Dutch players, so I’m fine and I’m in shape. I can not wait to join the new teammates and I hope I can help the team to reach the pre-established objectives, also bringing my energy and my contribution” said the best setter of the European Championship 2017.
