Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto sign pivot Artur Parera from Barça

     

Parera:  ‘Winning the league was a huge thrill for me, but now it is time to take on new challenges and objectives, and I am delighted that it will be with the red-and-white shirt.’

 

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announce the signing of Artur Parera. The pivot, who joins from Barça, the reigning Plenitude Asobal league champions, is 20 years old and 1.92 m tall. He joined FC Barcelona in the 2015/16 season in the Infantil category, when he was 13. Since then, the pivot has progressed through the age groups, always demonstrating a very high level. His development continued until he combined duties between Barça B and the first team. In fact, during the 2021/22 season, Parera played 16 matches for the first team, including the Champions League quarter-final against Flensburg, while he was still registered with the B team. Last season, 22/23, he was part of the first team and scored 61 goals in the Asobal league.

He is a pivot with a great ability in front of goal. He has a strong build and a height of 1.92 m that makes him stand out. Parera also excels through his tactical ability on court and his maturity when playing.

Red-and-white coach Toni Malla said of the team’s new member: ‘A very important signing for our club. We have been working on this reinforcement for many months, and it has been laborious and complex. However, our good relationship with FC Barcelona has made it possible. Artur chose us because our organisation is ideal for him to develop as a player. The environment, our social base and our team profile helped with his decision. The new pivot will give the team an extra quality, being a reliable player for a season of hard work.’

Fertiberia’s new pivot says he is: ‘Very happy and excited about the signing. I think next year will be one in which we will need all the support from the fans, who can be vital for us in many matches. 

‘I am coming to Puerto de Sagunto to give everything. Whatever I can contribute to winning, I will do, always giving my all until the end’, Parera adds.

The new pivot joins the club after winning the league with the team that watched him grow. On this, Parera says: ‘Winning the league was a huge thrill for me, but now it is time to take on new challenges and objectives, and I am delighted that it will be with the red-and-white shirt.’
