Ensing: Playing in Turkey Means Entering the Top Level

Since 2015, 29-year-old Kyle Ensing has played in the leagues of the United States, Germany, Israel, France and Poland. Ahead of the 2026-2027 season, he transferred to Sungurlu Belediyespor, which has been promoted to the SMS Grup Efeler League. The cross-side setter has also been part of the United States Volleyball National Team since 2020 and continues to train with the squad.

Ensing said the Efeler League is among the best volleyball leagues in the world. Noting that important names and talented Turkish players have always been part of the league, he said he found an environment where he can show his abilities. Reminding that he previously played in Poland, the player said the quality of this league gives him extra motivation for the new season.

Ensing viewed his transfer to Turkey as a new challenge for himself, stressing that every new country is a turning point. He said he has personal goals but finds it hard to share them in detail, and that he wants to become one of the best setters in the league.

Ensing stated that his primary goal is the success of his team. Besides performing well individually, he said team chemistry, fighting spirit and mentality will be kept at the forefront throughout the season.
