Career

edit

Nagaoka began her career at school level in local leagues, playing with Higashi Kyushu Ryukoku High School.[1] During that period she also played with the Japanese youth national team. In 2007, they won the Asian Girls' U18 Volleyball Championship, where she was awarded MVP. In 2008, they won the Asian Women's U20 Volleyball Championship.

In 2010, she made her senior international debut, taking part in the Asian Cup with the national B-team; as well as beginning her professional career with Hisamitsu Springs.[1]

From 2012-13 to 2016-17 seasons, Nagaoka was awarded Best 6 in V.Premier League; as well as MVP in 2012-13 and 2015-16 seasons.[3][4] She was also awarded MVP at the 2014 AVC Club Championship, when her team won the tournament.

Nagaoka was selected to the national A-team in 2012. With the team she won silver medal at the 2013 Asian Championships, bronze medal at the 2013 World Grand Champions Cup and silver medal at the 2014 World Grand Prix.[4]

In March 2017, she suffered an injury to her left anterior cruciate ligament which kept her from playing for over thirteen months,[5] causing her to miss the entire 2017-18 season.

In 2018, she was on loan to Italian Serie A1 club Imoco Volley Conegliano.[4] They won the Italian Super Cup, making her the first Japanese player to play and win a title with the club.[6] Due to a new left knee injury suffered in December, she returned to her homeland for rehabilitation.[7]

Nagaoka was back on court in 2020,[8] but missed the 2020 Summer Olympics due to a knee injury.[9]
