Adrián Sifre joins Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto

Adrian Sifre Flores (Les Alqueries, 27/071987) is the new Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto player. This left-handed “globetrotter”, a leading figure in handball in Castellón province, returns to what was his home in the 2010–2011 and 2011–2012 seasons.

Adrian Sifre plays on the wing and needs no introduction in Spanish handball. A player developed under the guidance of the ever-present Peñarroja at his home in Les Alqueries del Niño Perdido, he was soon spotted by the then franchise project BM Valencia, who saw potential in him. Under Pachi Marti and Juan Carlos Ferrer, he made his Asobal League debut alongside many who will now become his teammates again: Tarrasó, Nebot, Bruixola and Angel Fernandez. BM Valencia's disappearance led to his first spell away from home. Two seasons in Cuenca and one at Anaitasuna, both then in the División de Honor Plata, took him back to Asobal with the then leading CAI BM Aragón, where he spent several seasons until Fertiberia called him in the season of their promotion, when he joined our club.

In 2012–2013 he left the red-and-white set-up for his second spell at Ciudad Encantada. The financial crisis in Spanish handball led him to try experiences abroad, at Romanian side Energia Panduri, where he won the cup, and at his most recent destination, IFK Skovde of the Swedish Super League, where he played last season.

The departures of two left-handers from the red-and-white first team—the well-known departure of Sergio Berrios upon retirement to manage the red-and-white academy, and the unexpected departure of Brazilian Fernando Pacheco, who requested his release without a transfer fee to deal with family matters in Brazil—led Fertiberia to seek a reliable reinforcement close to home.

Adrian has signed for the remainder of this season and the next, choosing to enjoy handball again at a temple such as the Ovni and in his home town of Alqueries.
