ASOBAL academy players for Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto

Three academy players have confirmed their places in Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto's ASOBAL 2016-2017 squad. The winger Toni Alegre, the goalkeeper, Ibrahim Moral, and the left-back  Juan Antonio Sari

Toni Alegre is the most 'veteran' of the red-and-white academy players, apart from captain Rub n Ruiz. He joined the first team under Goran Dockic and has since established himself on the left wing as Javier Tarras 's natural replacement. Toni Alegre brings qualities to the team that are unusual in squads as experienced as those Fertiberia usually assembles. His speed, ability to win the ball and exceptional vision make Toni a youngster who is already a reality.

The goalkeeper from Quart de Poblet Ibrahim Moral, has also come through the red-and-white academy. He arrived from Barca's youth team to complete his development. After making his ASOBAL debut, Ibrahim left in search of more playing time in Primera Nacional, where he joined Florida Handbol. His performances did not go unnoticed by Pachi Marti, who brought him back into the red-and-white set-up last season.

The left-back  Juan Antonio Sari is progressing through the stages on his path towards the elite of Spanish handball. An international for Spain at youth and junior levels, this year he put the finishing touch to his time with the club's red-and-white youth team by being crowned champion of the Valencian Community. This 17-year-old, who bears a distinguished red-and-white surname and is the third generation of his family to play for the first team after his grandfather and father, becomes a fully fledged member of the ASOBAL team. He will try to show manager Milos that he is ready to accumulate minutes at left-back for Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto.

These three youngsters, together with captain Rub n Ruiz Casanova, are clear proof that the Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto academy is growing by leaps and bounds and already has four representatives in the ASOBAL squad. Surely, in the coming weeks, manager Nikola Milos will add more academy youngsters to the ranks so that they can follow in these players' footsteps.
