Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto strengthen their commitment to the academy with David García’s renewal

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto and pivot David García have reached an agreement to renew his contract for one more season, until 2026.

The Puerto Sagunto pivot is one of the academy success stories, having progressed through all the club’s youth categories and the second team before ultimately establishing himself in the first team. Also a defensive specialist in the centre of the defence, he has become an indispensable figure at both ends of the court. Last season (2023-2024), he played a total of 24 matches, scoring 27 goals in the Liga Plenitude Asobal, the division in which the red-and-white club want to establish themselves in the short and medium term.

“We have watched David grow since he was in the academy, as well as when he played for the Primera Nacional reserve side. I believe it is a great source of pride for the supporters to see someone who was born here playing a significant role for the team every weekend,” first-team coach Toni Malla says, highlighting the importance of the academy.

“Beyond his academy background, he has earned this renewal with the club through his own efforts. His development over recent seasons has been outstanding in every respect, from the technical to the physical. Thanks to all this, he is getting closer every day to becoming one of the best pivots in the division, if he is not already,” the Catalan coach concludes regarding David’s development as a player.

David García’s renewal strengthens the commitment to the academy as one of the fundamental pillars of president Carlos Argente and his board’s project. It follows those of head coach Toni Malla, under the formula of two fixed seasons and one extendable season, and Dani Martínez and Arnau Fernández until 2027. As for new signings, the only confirmed arrival to date is Alex Pozzer, until 2027.

More renewals and the arrivals of new signings will be announced in the coming weeks through the club’s website and social media channels.
