Arnau Fernández will remain part of the new red-and-white project

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto and Arnau Fernández have reached an agreement to renew his contract for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 seasons.

The Catalan backcourt player and defensive specialist joined the red-and-white club in the 2019-2020 season from Club Balonmano La Roca; during this first spell, he played for the second team in Primera Nacional for two seasons. From the 2021-2022 season onwards, he combined appearances for the División de Honor Plata Masculina team and the reserve side.

Training almost exclusively with the first team, he secured direct promotion to the Liga Plenitude Asobal in the 2022-2023 season. His performances led Villa de Aranda to sign him for the 2023-2024 season, with whom he also achieved consecutive promotion to the highest tier of Spanish men's handball.

The Port club's board chose to put their faith in him once again by signing his return for the current season, in which he has established himself as one of the squad's key players at both ends of the court, earning a renewal of more than one year.

“We are very pleased with his renewal. He is a player I have a special affection for, as our adventures at this club began together in the reserve team, back in those Primera Nacional days when he was only seventeen,” adds first-team coach Toni Malla, referring to their relationship over the years.

“Over time, he has become the real deal. He is one of the most versatile players in the squad; his intensity and fearlessness make him a player with pure Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto DNA. In short, this is a hugely important renewal for our project,” concludes the Tortosa manager on the player Arnau has become.

With Arnau Fernández's renewal, the 2025-2026 project is taking shape. Previously announced were the renewal of head coach Toni Malla, on a two-season fixed-term deal with a further extendable year, and goalkeeper Dani Martínez's renewal until 2027. In terms of arrivals, the only confirmed signing to date is Alex Pozzer, until 2027.

Over the coming weeks, more renewals and the arrivals of new signings will be announced through the club's website and social media channels.
