David Bruixola will provide his final service to Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto

David Bruixola, Fertiberia's captain and a protagonist in all the successes of the Valencian club over the last two decades, confirmed today to President Juanjo Bataller that he will continue defending the red-and-white goal in the 2019-2020 season.

However, David has simultaneously announced his retirement at the end of the coming season, as this will be the final occasion on which the veteran goalkeeper from Tabernes Blanques, born in 1978, will play. Bruixola has already commented that “I had decided that the 2018-2019 season would be my last, but the promotion and all the emotions and expressions of affection I received made me reconsider”.

During this brief period since the club's promotion to the Liga Asobal, the support of his family, particularly his partner Clara, and the backing from every part of the red-and-white organisation have led to this final service to the club, where he has played while combining it with his
professional work since the days when what was then Alser Puerto Sagunto competed in Group C of the Primera Nacional.

Manager Nogues says that “we are extremely happy and eternally grateful to David Bruixola, because for a non-professional, with thousands of training sessions behind him and with the record of service he has, the easy thing would have been to retire.

However, he has chosen to lead the team once again and for the final time. If staying up was already the objective, now even more so, because we owe it to the captain to see him leave through the biggest door, as he deserves Bruixola”

A promotion to the Silver Division, two promotions to Asobal, a Copa del Rey Final Four and eight consecutive seasons in the Liga Asobal are the credentials of this legendary goalkeeper, who has already left his mark on high-performance Valencian handball.

Thank you, David Bruixola!
