Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto sign pivot Dani Sedano

The pivot promises grit and commitment in the DHP team being assembled by Toni Malla

Fertiberia Handball Puerto Sagunto announce the signing of pivot Daniel Sedano from Unión Financiera Base Oviedo, where he worked with the new red-and-white coach, Toni Malla, and with whom he competed for a place in the DHP promotion phase. At 24, Sedano has extensive experience. He came through the Balonmano Guadalajara academy, making his ASOBAL League debut with them, and also has experience abroad, having played for Initia Hasselt in the Belgian league. Before joining Oviedo, he played for Santoña, one of Unión Financiera’s league opponents. Sedano scored 78 goals in the 21 matches he played, an average of 3.7 goals per match.

The new Fertiberia Handball Puerto Sagunto pivot says the following about wearing the red-and-white shirt next season: ‘Signing for Fertiberia is a step forward in my career, as it is one of Spain’s most historic handball teams, with the greatest tradition. I have already played at the Ovni with Guadalajara, and it is one of the venues where the crowd exerts the most pressure; matches there were always special. Now I will be able to experience that pressure from the crowd in our favour.’

‘What defines me as a player is my grit and commitment. I am the kind of player who likes to finish matches unable to move because that is the only way I feel happy, knowing that I have given everything. Sporting-wise, I am a player who attacks and defends, and I like to create a good atmosphere in the dressing room’, adds Sedano regarding what he can contribute to the team.

Sedano is clear about the objective for the new season, which begins in División de Honor Plata: ‘The objective this season is to create a strong and cohesive group, as the squad is practically new. I think that is the most difficult part. Of course, I am coming here to help return Puerto Sagunto to where it deserves to be: the top division.’

Regarding the squad, Dani Sedano comments: ‘I think it is always good to mix experience with youth, and that is what they have done in this team. There are established players alongside players of tremendous quality who simply needed an opportunity like this. I am convinced it will be a very enjoyable year for everyone.’
