Fertiberia sign Croatian centre-back Bruno Kozina

Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announce the signing of Croatian centre-back Bruno Kozina from Vaci KSE (Hungary). He is 1.85 metres tall, weighs 90 kilos and is 28 years old. Last season he averaged 6.8 goals per match. He was his team’s top scorer and one of the best in the league. In the 2015/16 season he was the top scorer in the Swiss league from open play (excluding penalties), with 140 goals, and in the 2016/17 season he was the league’s third-highest scorer with 141. The red-and-white coaching staff rate the signing highly because they ‘believe he can adapt very quickly and that he will join the team immediately’.

The red-and-white coach, Vicent Nogués, highlighted that the signing had been sought since the squad was assembled, but that the process was accelerated by Dija’s injury during the match against Atlético Valladolid: ‘we had been looking for a backcourt player since the start of the season and Dija’s injury accelerated the search, as we had not found anything suitable until now. He is a very intense player both in attack and defence. A very difficult guy to stop in attack, with a very good mid-range shot from 8/7 metres. He is a very complete player; he can also play at left back and in the centre. It is also important to highlight that he is a good defender in the number-two position’.

‘He played in Hungary last season. I think he will be very useful for playing all the open situations and can unblock the team in attack. I think we will gain a lot of defensive solidity with him, as he is a very strong player. We will soon see him make his debut at the Ovni in the red-and-white shirt’, the red-and-white coach concluded.
