Habo Wolley värvar den isländska landslagsspelaren Hafsteinn Már Sigurdsson inför den kommande säsongen. Hafsteinn är en 23 årig högerspiker med stor potential som vi tror kommer vara en viktig spelare i vår elitserietrupp kommande säsong.
Hafsteinn var bästa högerspiker i den isländska ligan den senaste säsongen där han spelade för topplaget Afturelding. Han har även visat hög kapacitet i Silver League med det isländska lanslaget under våren 2024. Hafsteinn ser själv den svenska Elitserien som ett bra nästa kliv i volleybollkarriären.
I och med det senaste nyförvärvet börjar Habo Wolleys trupp inför kommande säsong börjar bli alltmer komplett.

- Med Hafsteinn får vi en spelare med mycket energi som kommer passa bra in i vår spelartrupp med unga dedikerade spelare.
- Han har ett bra anfallsspel och block och kommer utvecklas i alla områden under säsongen och jag ser fram emot att arbeta med honom.
Vi ställde även några frågor till Hafsteinn:
Your background?
- Im from a small town in Iceland and volleyball was one of the sports you could play. I used to play volleyball and football but when I got older I decided to focus fully on volleyball.
- I’ve been playing volleyball since I remember myself. I started playing because my dad and sister was playing and never looked back.
Volleyball experience?
- In the beginning of my career I was playing with my boyhood club Vestri and came through the academy there. When I broke in to the first team we were playing in the 2nd highest division and during our time there we won that division 2 times. Then we took our team to the highest division and there begin our underdog story. In my time in the highest division with Vestri we ended top 4 many times and went to the semi final in the cup and playoffs.
- 2 years ago I moved to the capital and started playing with Afturelding. Was there for 2 seasons and ended up in 2 place in the league both years. Semifinal in cup and playoffs in the first season and final in the playoffs in the second season. And in that same season I was chosen the best Icelandic player in the league.
- I’ve also been playing with the 1st national team for 3 years. Broke into the squad when we played the Euro qualifiers. Last year we played Small nation tournament and ended up in 3rd place there. This year we played in the Silver league and I ended up as the 5th highest scorer there.
Strenghts as a player?
- I’m a very dedicated and a big team player. Teamwork is very important to me and I put a lot of effort in pushing myself and motivating the players around me to reach our goal.
- Always pushing myself and others with me during practice and games to get the best results.
- My strengths are in scoring points for the team but gathering a strong team where everyone can reach their potential is an important factor to me.
Expectations coming to Habo Wolley?
- Im coming to Habo with big high hopes. I know the team is young but they are hungry like me.
- I’m not going to settle for nothing less then fighting for cups to bring to the team and people of Habo!
Vi välkomnar Hafsteinn till Habo Wolley!
