Creamline veteran Risa Sato has parted ways with the Cool Smashers. The club announced Sato's departure on Friday, citing the Filipino-Japanese player asked for a release from her contract which was set to expire by December. "This request for early termination though will still be subject to the conditions outlined in her existing contract," the club said.
The Cool Smashers, meanwhile, acknowledged Sato's contributions to the squad. "In recognition of her many years of dedicated service to the team, we have extended our understanding and utmost consideration regarding her request, granting her certain accommodations to support her as an athlete while respecting the terms of the contract," Creamline said. "On behalf of management and the entire team, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Risa for her dedication and service.
Her efforts and good vibes have been instrumental in our growth and success, and we hope she has gained valuable experiences during her time with us." The middle blocker has been with the squad since 2018 and has won multiple titles with the Cool Smashers. —JKC, GMA Integrated News.
