Alser Puerto Sagunto strengthen their squad with Fernando Latorre and Sergio Berrios

 Alser BM Puerto Sagunto have signed Fernando Latorre and Sergio Berrios for the remainder of the season, in an attempt to increase the resources available to pursue survival in their second season in Asobal. Both players come from BM Servigroup Benidorm of the Primera División Nacional, where they have played this season after their lengthy service records in the Asobal league. The red-and-white board is deeply grateful for the facilities provided by the Benidorm club in giving both players the opportunity to begin a new adventure in Asobal’s top division. Both players have also done everything in their power to join the red-and-white project in the current difficult sporting circumstances.

For Fernando Latorre, this will be his third spell at BM Puerto Sagunto, following a first during his junior years, when he played in the first División de Honor Plata league in history, and a second successful adventure as a key figure in promotion to Asobal and survival last season. He now returns to bring experience, team direction and leadership to a group that needs his contribution at this difficult time. Latorre says: “I carry BM Puerto Sagunto very close to my heart and, despite the disappointment I felt when my services were not retained at the start of the season, I cannot refuse to help try to preserve what cost us so much effort, namely Asobal.”

 The case of Jaén-born Sergio Berrios is also particularly significant. After ten seasons in the top division of Spanish handball, last year he had to endure seeing the team he captained, JD Arrate, disappear. His personal links with Valencia, where he also played for the capital’s team, brought him closer to the city of Turia, where he works with the Valencian Community Handball Federation. Berrios says: “After ten years in Asobal, I did not want to leave this division in the way I was forced to. I hope that Latorre’s experience and mine will add to Alser’s excellent squad and that together we can achieve the objective of survival.”

Following Alberto Estornell’s arrival on the bench, and with these two signings, Berrios and Latorre, Alser Puerto Sagunto have exhausted their limited resources to put everything within their power into action and remain in the best handball league for another year.
