�ngel P�rez de Inestrosa, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto's first signing for 2016-2017

ngel Prez de Inestrosa Palomares (Ciudad Real, 31-03-1986) is a new Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto player for the 2016-2017 season, the seventh consecutive season in the Bauhaus-ASOBAL League.

With survival secured, Nikola Milos confirmed as manager and the financial stability provided by the renewal of Fertiberia's sponsorship for four seasons, the Valencian team has been able to begin planning its squad much earlier than is usual at this club.

Angel Prez comes from BM Anaitasuna where he played this season. With the Navarrese team, he played 27 league matches, scoring 62 goals, as well as playing in the EHF Cup, where he scored 19 goals figures that are far from insignificant for a natural centre-back, whose strengths are directing the team, playing and making others play. At 184 cm and 84 kg, anthropometrically speaking he occupies an intermediate position between the emerging 'small playmakers' and the shooting-oriented centre-backs who are less adept at directing play.

ngel Prez is an established player with extensive experience in the ASOBAL league and European competitions. His career began at BM Ciudad Real where he made his debut in the 2004-2005 season in both the ASOBAL league and the Champions League. However, earning minutes at that legendary Ciudad Real side was no easy matter, so Prez de Inestrosa moved in 2007 to BM Toledo where he achieved promotion to ASOBAL and became his second ASOBAL destination, this time as the main protagonist at the now-defunct Toledo. In 2009 he sought a place at Ciudad Encantada de Cuenca where he blossomed as a high-level ASOBAL player, putting in outstanding performances for the Cuenca side. There he played alongside today's red-and-whites Corzo and Sorrentino, and the then-European, now-defunct BM Aragn signed him to play the Europa Cup with the Aragonese side. It was the 2013-2014 season. During the winter break he moved to Europe, where the powerful Ukrainian champions HC Motor Zaporozhye called him up, and he played two Champions League editions with the Ukrainians from January 2014. The following season, amid the uncertainties caused by the war, he left the Ukrainian team halfway through the season, having first been crowned league champion and reaching the last 16 of the Champions League. At the end of the 2014-2015 season he joined Dutch side Kras Volendam to complete his European spell before returning to ASOBAL with Anaitasuna.

In his first statements to the red-and-white club's communications department, ngel said"It will be an honour for me to wear this shirt and these colours, and I will give everything for the club and for these great supporters, which we all know it has."

In short, a high-profile signing which will surely be the first building block added to a well-established and serious project such as Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto's in the Bauhaus ASOBAL league.
