Alex Pozzer returns home

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto and Italian-Brazilian pivot Alex Pozzer have reached an agreement for him to join the club for the next two seasons (2025–2026 and 2026–2027). He thus becomes the first signing made by president Carlos Argente and his board of directors.

The 36-year-old returns to what was his home for four seasons. As a Puerto Sagunto player, he defended the club’s colours in the Liga Plenitude Asobal during two different spells (from 2015 to 2017 and from 2019 to 2021), making a total of 106 appearances in the competition and scoring as many as 359 goals. He joined the club from Impulse Balonmano Guadalajara for his first spell and from French side Dunkerque for his second.

He returns to the club after his contract with Rebi Balonmano Cuenca came to an end. He spent the last four seasons there (2021–2022, 2022–2023, 2023–2024 and 2024–2025), including a second-place finish in the regular league season and participation in the EHF European League. In terms of his recent statistics, he has scored 48 goals at 66.7% efficiency in the current domestic competition.

“We have been speaking to the player about a possible return for quite some time. He wanted to come back, and we did not hesitate to make the most of his excitement at wearing our shirt again. He is a great signing, both for our present and our future,” explains first-team coach Toni Malla, describing how the move came about and its importance.

“As a player, he will give us everything we are looking for to improve in the pivot position. Off the court, everyone who knows him is aware that his personal qualities will provide the balance and maturity our young players need,” adds the Catalan coach regarding the new Puerto Sagunto signing.

Alex Pozzer’s signing is the first signing and the second announcement concerning the first-team squad ahead of next season. We recall that the renewals of first-team coach Toni Malla (two guaranteed seasons and a further optional one) and goalkeeper Dani Martínez (2025–2026 and 2026–2027) had already been announced.

Over the coming weeks, further renewals and the arrival of new signings will be announced via the club’s website and social media channels.
