Fertiberia sign young winger Alex Gil

Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announce the signing of young winger Alex Gil (7 July 1998), who came through BmCastellón (from youth level through to his second senior year). He has two promotion play-offs behind him (one to 2nd National and another to 1st National in the same season). He joins from Handbol Sant Joan, for whom he scored 108 goals during the season, making him the 8th-highest scorer in 1st National and the team’s top scorer.

The player says he is excited ‘I’m very happy with the signing. I never imagined this could happen, especially given the health situation we are experiencing. For me, it is a dream. Obviously, reaching Asobal is an indisputable goal for everyone who plays handball, but for me it has an even greater sentimental value, because playing this sport is what I am most passionate about in the world.’

Gil says that during the coronavirus lockdown he continued preparing for his return to the court  ‘Well, the truth is that I haven’t stopped exercising, within what was possible. I tried to train morning and afternoon so as not to lose fitness.’

The Castellón player also reflects on last season: ‘Last season at Handbol San Juan was a very strange one; it was also my first season away from home. But I don’t consider it a bad one—it taught me a great deal and allowed me to meet people I care about enormously.’

Alex Gil arrives at the Ovni eager and excited:  ‘I’m extremely excited and keen to work, as I have a lot to learn from my teammates.’ He also referred to the supporters from Puerto, saying ‘they are hugely important in achieving results and I am delighted to be able to play for a team with one of the best fan bases in Spain.’

Alex Gil’s signing follows those of Chem Pomeranz, Gonzalo Carou, Miguel Miralles, Franzini and Pau, as well as the renewals of Leo Querín, Dija Cruz, Guillermo Corzo, Nacho Mirallave, Alex Pozzer, Óscar Camacho, Toni Alegre and Óscar García. The club has also announced that Jaka, Marcos Dorado, Alex Tello, Iñigo Celorrio and Ángel López will not continue at the club, while David Bruixola has retired from the sport.
