Alberto Serradilla, a signing with a Liga Plenitude Asobal pedigree

Alberto Serradilla strengthens Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto’s first-team squad with a contract that will keep him at the club until 2027.

 

The Andalusian centre-back joins from Impulse Balonmano Guadalajara, where he has spent the last four seasons. Before his time with the Guadalajara side, he stood out for one of the teams from his home city, Seville: Club Balonmano Montequinto.

  In his first season (2021-2022) wearing the colours of Impulse Balonmano Guadalajara, he won the División de Honor Plata title, earning promotion to Liga Plenitude Asobal. His debut in the highest tier of Spanish handball produced 37 goals in the 30 matches he played.  

In 2023-2024, he was crowned División de Honor Plata champion again, allowing him to return to the top flight in the season that has just ended. After finishing 14th in the regular league, he played the relegation play-off against UBU San Pablo Burgos, proving to be one of the key attacking players in the Castile-La Mancha side’s ultimately agonising victory with the final action of the match. In the domestic phase, he scored 82 goals in 25 matches.

 

“When the opportunity arose to sign Alberto, we were clear that he was what we were looking for, although we knew it would not be easy, as he was a player with many offers on the market after not renewing his contract. Nevertheless, he never hesitated and believed in our project,” said first-team coach Toni Malla about how the signing came about.

 

“We needed a centre-back with potential as well as experience, a difficult profile to find because it is a limited position. He is an intelligent player, with an abundance of resources, who controls the tempo of matches and is very consistent statistically. He is also a lovely and competitive person, two qualities we consider essential if we want to build a strong group,” Toni explains about Alberto’s attributes.

 

As for the progress of squad planning, the renewals of head coach Toni Malla, for two fixed seasons and one optional season, have already been officially announced. The following players have also renewed: Dani Martínez, Arnau Fernández, Matheus de Novais, Joaquín Barceló, Diego Olba and Antonio Capitán (all until 2027), along with academy players David García, Javier Olivares and Gonzalo Pérez (all three until 2026).

 

As for signings, those of Carlos Martín de Bolaños Ruiz (until 2028), Alex Pozzer and Juani Villarreal (both until 2027), and Oriol Teixidor (until 2026) are also official. Next week, through the club’s website and social media, the final addition will be announced, bringing the 2025-2026 squad to completion.
