Arnau Fernández will be part of Fertiberia’s Silver Honour Division team

The left-back moves up to the red-and-white first team after completing two good seasons with the reserve side, one of them under new coach Toni Malla

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announces a new signing from the red-and-white reserve side. Catalan left-back Arnau Fernández Plana will play in the Silver Honour Division after spending two years playing in the club’s Primera Nacional side. Arnau will once again work under Toni Malla, with whom he spent a season two years ago in the second team, with the aim of helping Fertiberia fight for promotion back to the top tier of Spanish handball.

The Catalan left-back says of his signing that ‘For me, after spending two years in this club’s second team, it is a source of pride and a dream come true to be given the confidence to move up to the first team. I believe I can bring enthusiasm, excitement and hard work, with the aim of taking this team to where it deserves to be: Spain’s top competition.’

Regarding what he expects from this season, Arnau states that ‘As for my personal objective, it is to adapt to the division as quickly as possible and help the team in every way I can. I will give everything on court during the minutes I get. The objective for the season is to return to ASOBAL, and I think we have a good squad to do it.’

Finally, regarding the project being built to compete in the Silver Honour Division under Toni Malla, Fernández concludes that: ‘The squad is practically new, but young and competitive. We have both players who are inexperienced in this division and players who have already played in ASOBAL and the Silver Division. We will all pull together and achieve promotion to ASOBAL.’
