Club career

[edit]

Robert Täht began his professional career in 2010 at the age of 17, signing a contract with his hometown club, Valio Võru. In 2012, he moved to the top Estonian team, Bigbank Tartu.

After three seasons in Tartu, Täht signed his first foreign contract and joined the Polish PlusLiga team, Cuprum Lubin. Täht spent the 2018–19 season playing for Arkas İzmir in the Turkish Volleyball League and the 2019–20 season for the Italian Volleyball League powerhouse, Sir Safety Perugia.[2][3] For the next two seasons he returned to PlusLiga to play for Asseco Resovia and Skra Bełchatów.[4]

In June 2022, Täht signed with Vôlei São José dos Campos, one of the Brazilian Super League teams, becoming the first ever Estonian to have played in the Brazilian top flight.[5] The season was cut short due to a knee injury and Täht returned to Europe for treatment in February 2023.

In October 2023, he signed with Berlin Recycling Volleys for the oncoming Volleyball Bundesliga season.[6]
