Done Deal: Just In — Creamline Players Finally Declare to Sign New Contract Extension Amidst Transfer Rumors
In a major announcement that’s sure to excite fans across the Philippine volleyball community, the Creamline Cool Smashers have officially confirmed that their star players have signed new contract extensions, solidifying their commitment to the club and the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) for the upcoming season.
After weeks of speculation, transfer rumors, and swirling talks of possible moves to rival teams or overseas opportunities, Creamline’s management broke the news through an official statement released earlier today. The club confirmed that several of its marquee players, including Alyssa Valdez, Jia Morado-De Guzman, and Tots Carlos, have all penned new deals to remain with the powerhouse team.
A Statement of Loyalty and Stability
Creamline team manager Sherwin Malonzo expressed his excitement and gratitude in securing the core of the Cool Smashers, saying, “We are thrilled to announce that our key players have committed to stay with the Creamline family. This move reflects not just loyalty, but the trust and confidence our athletes have in the organization, and in our goal to continue striving for excellence both on and off the court.”
Fans have been anxiously waiting for updates on the status of the players’ contracts, especially after the conclusion of the 2024 PVL season, where Creamline once again reached the finals. Despite falling short of the championship title, the team’s performance remained a testament to their skill, resilience, and chemistry — qualities that management was determined to preserve.
The Players Speak
In an emotional press conference held at the team’s headquarters in Quezon City, Creamline’s captain Alyssa Valdez addressed the media, saying, “It’s been a meaningful journey with Creamline, and I’m proud to say that I’m staying. This team has always been like a family to me, and together with my teammates, we’re determined to chase more victories and continue making our fans proud.”
Setter Jia Morado-De Guzman echoed Valdez’s sentiments, adding, “It’s not just about the games we play, but the values we represent as a team. I’m grateful for the trust of the management and excited for the new challenges and opportunities ahead.”
Rising star Tots Carlos, who has been one of the PVL’s breakout performers in recent seasons, also shared her thoughts: “I feel blessed to be surrounded by mentors and teammates who inspire me every day. Signing this contract is my way of giving back to the community that has supported me since day one.”
Shutting Down Rumors
The announcement effectively shuts down recent speculations that several Creamline players were considering moves to other PVL clubs or even international teams in Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. Several online sources had hinted at potential departures, but those have now been put to rest with the players’ confirmed commitments.
Sports analyst Mark Zambrano weighed in on the development, stating, “This is huge not just for Creamline but for the league as a whole. It maintains the level of competition and keeps one of the country’s most iconic volleyball teams intact. The Cool Smashers have always been a fan favorite, and having their core players stay is great for Philippine volleyball.”
Looking Ahead to the Next Season
With their roster secured, Creamline now shifts its focus to preparing for the next PVL conference. Head coach Sherwin Meneses expressed his confidence in the team’s chances, remarking, “Continuity is one of the most important factors in building a successful program. Now that our players are staying, we can focus on refining our system, improving our teamwork, and targeting that championship we’ve been working so hard for.”
Creamline is expected to start their training camp early next month, with plans to participate in various local and international tune-up matches to hone their skills and develop new strategies for the 2025 season.
Fans React
News of the re-signing immediately made waves on social media, with hashtags like #CoolSmashersForever and #StayWithCreamline trending on Twitter and Facebook. Supporters expressed their excitement and relief, posting heartfelt messages of support for their volleyball idols.
One fan tweeted, “So happy to hear that our queens are staying with Creamline! PVL wouldn’t be the same without them!”
Another wrote, “Alyssa, Jia, Tots — thank you for choosing to stay and fight for our pink family! Here’s to more championships ahead!”
Final Thoughts
In a sports landscape often marked by shifting allegiances and constant transfers, the Creamline Cool Smashers’ decision to keep their star players represents more than just a business move — it’s a declaration of unity, loyalty, and a shared commitment to excellence.
As the PVL heads into a new season, one thing is clear: Creamline is here to stay, and with their battle-tested core intact, they remain a formidable force and a team to watch in the years to come.
