Aitor Albizu: ‘We will give 120% on the court’

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announces the signing of Helvetia Anaitasuna player Aitor Albizu (9/02/2001). The young centre back developed in Anaitasuna's academy is 21 years old (78 kg and 187 cm) and made his Asobal league debut in the 2020/21 season, playing 11 matches. Last season, he played 22 matches and scored 5 goals. 

The red-and-white player expresses how he feels about signing for the club: ‘Very happy and excited to be able to be part of this great project. Everyone has spoken very highly of this club and the way it works. I also believe it is an Asobal-level team with great supporters and a beautiful arena, and most importantly, the sporting project Toni Malla presented to me was the most appealing.’ 

Regarding the objectives for the season, Albizu adds that they are: ‘Without a doubt, to seek promotion to the highest level of Spanish handball. For my part, I can contribute speed in transitions, feints and an outside shot in attack; depth, athleticism and intensity in defence.’

Regarding the supporters, Aitor Albizu says: ‘Come and cheer us on and enjoy the matches as much as we do. We will give  120% on the court, and with your help we will be able to achieve our objective.’

For his part, Toni Malla, coach of the red-and-white side, says of Aitor: ‘Aitor is already a magnificent player, but he still has a great future ahead of him. He is also excited and hungry to win. We wanted a versatile profile in the backcourt who would adapt to our way of playing. He defends at positions 2 and 3, which is important for our team. Although he is a very young player, he already knows what it is like to play in Asobal, enjoying important minutes at a great club such as Anaitasuna.’
