Leo Aringo leaves NU, signs with Japanese club Saitama Azalea
Leo Aringo, a standout player from the National University (NU) men's volleyball team, has signed with the Saitama Azalea club for the upcoming 2025-26 V.League season in Japan.
NU announced the development on Tuesday, with Aringo bidding farewell to the Bulldogs after helping the squad complete a historic five-peat run in the UAAP Season 87 men's volleyball.
Aringo, who also served as team captain, was instrumental in leading NU to their fifth consecutive UAAP championship, earning the Finals MVP award in his final year with the team.
His move to Japan follows that of fellow NU Bulldog Bryan Bagunas, who also played in the V.League.
Aringo, an outside hitter, finished the recent UAAP season ranked tenth in scoring with 176 points.
The announcement highlights Aringo's signing as a testament to the tried, tested Bulldog pride and program.
