Camacho and Dani Martínez will wear the red-and-white shirt for another season

Right winger Óscar Camacho and goalkeeper Dani Martínez are the first team’s only two renewals compared with last season. The two young players have decided to back the club’s project with the aim of returning to ASOBAL

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announce the contract renewals of left winger Óscar Camacho and goalkeeper Dani Martínez for the 2021–22 season, in which the club will play in the Silver Division of Honour, with the aim of returning the team to the top tier of Spanish handball. Both players will work under Toni Malla and face the season with ‘energy and enthusiasm’.

BM Puerto Sagunto continue to back the youth and talent of winger Óscar Camacho, who renews for another season after joining the red-and-white club’s reserve side five seasons ago. Camacho grew and progressed in the 1st National Division until he made his first-team debut while the side were playing in the Silver Division of Honour. After returning to ASOBAL, the winger has established himself and next season he wants to make a big impact and score plenty of spectacular goals in DHP.

The right winger says regarding the renewal that ‘I am very pleased to have reached an agreement to renew. Puerto were the team that gave me the opportunity to make my debut in both ASOBAL and DHP, and it feels symbolic to return to the league where I began working with the first team three years later, with all the experience that entails. I believe that one of my strengths so far has been my desire and hard work, two things the club has always been characterised by, and this year will be no different. Always with the utmost desire to learn and give everything in every match; the results will follow. I do not like talking about “objectives” as such. I believe that, as I have already said, you must always give everything in any circumstances, and the results will follow. Of course, I believe both the city and the club deserve a team in the top division, and I believe the whole team will work to achieve it’.

‘This year the team will be completely different, and what strikes me most is the youth. Until now, we have had squads with a fairly high average age, which brought a great deal of experience when playing. This time, with a much younger team, I believe we will have the extra energy and enthusiasm that can be crucial when facing many matches, so I have complete faith in everyone who joins us and in those of us who remain to make the project succeed’, concludes Óscar Camacho.

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto are backing Dani Martínez for another season, one of the most promising Spanish goalkeepers of his generation, who has now renewed his contract with the red-and-white club. He came through one of València’s most important academies, BM Levante Marni, where he developed as a player and earned regular call-ups to the Valencian regional team and international selection for the Hispanos Promesas. The already legendary David Bruixola also emerged from that same school in the city of Valencia. Last season he made his ASOBAL debut, making excellent use of the few minutes he spent between the posts and featuring among the best saves of the round.

The young goalkeeper, who made his ASOBAL debut with the red-and-white club last season, says that: ‘For me, renewing with Puerto Sagunto is very positive, as I will have the opportunity to get playing time in the Silver Division of Honour. Personally, I want to bring youth, hard work and effort to the squad’.

‘The objective for the season is to achieve promotion to the ASOBAL league. The squad that has been assembled seems very competitive to me, and in my opinion we can achieve the season’s objective with it’, concludes Martínez.

Óscar Camacho and Dani Martínez are the red-and-white club’s only two renewals compared with last season’s first-team squad. This makes official the departures of Carou, Leo Querín (retired), Lucas Aizen (BM Cangas), Roney Franzini (BM Benidorm), Dija Cruz, Alex Pozzer (Cuenca), Bruno Kozina, Chen Pomeranz (Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil), Guillermo Corzo, Alex Gil, Miguel Miralles, Pau Guitart and Nacho Mirallave (Horneo Alicante). We thank them for their commitment to the club and wish them the very best of luck in their new projects.

Academy players Óscar García and Toni Alegre, who has grown with the club since the beginning, will also not remain with the red-and-white club next season, as they did not accept the club’s renewal offer and were unable to reach an agreement to continue. We would like to thank them and wish them luck in their careers, while also telling them that this will always be their home.
