In January 2009, Mariusz Jurasik signed a three-year contract for playing in the Kielce club. In August, during the Kielce Cup tournament, he made his comeback in the team (previously he played in Kielce during the period1996-2001). Together with the pivot Rastko Stojkovic he is regarded as the most effective player of Mr Bogdan Wenta's team.

The team continues to keep the 1st place in the league. VIVE TARGI KIELCE has enjoyed 32 points so far.
