Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto promote winger Diego Olba to the first team

     

Olba:  ‘Playing in Asobal is something I have dreamed of since I was little. Experiencing the team’s promotion at close quarters was exciting, but now the challenge is much greater’

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announce left winger Diego Olba’s promotion to the first team. From the red-and-white reserve side and developed at Levante UD Marni, Olba made his first-team debut at the end of last season and is ready to make the step up to ASOBAL. 

Regarding the new first-team addition, red-and-white coach Toni Malla said: ‘A season ago, Diego chose to play for our reserve team and become a player on the first-team radar. The player developed at Levante UD Marni knew how to be patient, worked hard, and this season the opportunity has arrived for him to become a full-time first-team player. Olba is a player with tremendous finishing quality and a wealth of resources for scoring goals, which is his job. Personally, I am very pleased because, as well as being a magnificent player whom I have been following for some time, he is a very hard-working young man with an ability to learn above the norm’.

Fertiberia’s new winger says he is: ‘Very happy with the opportunity they have given me. Over the year, I have been able to learn a great deal from them, and they also welcomed me very well, both in training and away from the court’.

Regarding what his Asobal debut means to him, Olba said that: ‘In a way, it is what we all dream of when we start playing handball, so I am very excited. Experiencing the team’s promotion at close quarters was exciting, but now the challenge is much greater’.

‘On a personal level, I am really looking forward to starting work. It will not be an easy year, but with the help of the team and coaching staff I am sure things will go well’, Diego Olba added.

Diego already knows what it is like to play at the Ovni in front of the red-and-white supporters and says he is very happy to do so with the first team because: ‘The supporters always play a fundamental role for us. This year I have been able to see first-hand the constant support they give the team, cheering us on at very important moments of the season. We look forward to seeing them next year so that together we can have a great season’.
