The American national team player will not return to VTV Bình Điền Long An.

This outside hitter became part of VTV Bình Điền Long An during the latter half of the 2025 season and significantly contributed to the team's successful defense of the national women's volleyball title.

The American outside hitter, Roni Jones-Perry, will not wear the VTV Bình Điền Long An jersey in the playoff match for a spot in the 2026 AVC Champions League at the end of February, nor in the first phase of the 2026 national women's volleyball championship held in Đông Anh in mid-April.

Jones-Perry’s contract with VTV Bình Điền Long An has expired after the conclusion of the second phase of the 2025 National Championship, it is known that the 1997-born player received a new offer from the southern team. However, due to scheduling conflicts, she was unable to return to Vietnam to join the defending national champions.

The American outside hitter will also definitely not join VTV Bình Điền Long An in the official qualifying match for the 2026 AVC Champions League against Supreme Chonburi (Thailand), the club that will compete with a fully domestic lineup.

Roni Jones-Perry, 29 years old, stands 1.81 meters tall with a 3.11-meter approach jump and a 2.89-meter block jump. She previously played for Brigham Young University before turning professional, wearing jerseys for clubs such as Brescia (Italy); Radomka Radom, Budowlani Lodz (Poland); Cangrejeras de Santurce (Puerto Rico), Flamengo (Brazil), VTV BĐLA, and currently LOVB Salt Lake (USA).

The American attacker has represented the national team in major tournaments such as the VNL, Pan American Cup, and Norceca Champions Cup.

Jones-Perry joined VTV Bình Điền Long An in the second phase of the 2025 National Championship; her professionalism and proven talent on big stages helped her shine brightly and significantly contribute to the team’s successful defense of the national title.

According to the VTV Bình Điền Long An FC fanpage, the reigning national champion will recruit a young, strong foreign player who has previously played in Vietnam. This promises to be a quality scorer, as the team urgently needs a reliable attacker given that Trần Thị Thanh Thúy is still competing in Japan.
