BM Puerto Sagunto announce the signing of Canet lo Roig (Castellón) pivot Miguel Miralles Pla. The 24-year-old Valencian will make his Asobal debut in the red-and-white shirt with enthusiasm and ambition. The Valencian player joins from Algemesí, stands 2 metres tall and plays at pivot in attack, while defensively he operates in the central area.
The Canet lo Roig player says he is excited and ‘very happy and really looking forward to starting the season. For me, it is a very difficult challenge, but I am also very excited to be able to play alongside teammates of such quality and experience. I believe it is the best opportunity to continue learning and improving.’
Miralles says that during the coronavirus lockdown he continued preparing for his return to the court ‘Well, the truth is that I have been training morning and afternoon to stay physically fit and help take my mind off everything for a while.’
The player from Algemesí reflects on last season with the Valencian team: ‘Well, with a somewhat bittersweet feeling, as not being able to finish the league and fight for the promotion play-off was quite hard, but I am grateful to the people there because they supported us throughout the year.’
Miguel arrives eager and looks forward to experiencing the feeling of moving from watching matches from the Ovni stands to playing them on the court: ‘I want to contribute my enthusiasm and hard work, as well as giving everything on the court to entertain the supporters. I’m really looking forward to playing at the Ovni; if I enjoyed going to watch the matches, I can’t wait to imagine what it will be like to play with the supporters behind me.’
Miguel Miralles’s signing follows the renewal of Pozzer, Mirallave, Dija, Leo, Óscar and Camacho, and the signings of Carou, Franzini and Pau in goal. For now, it has also been confirmed that Alex Tello, Jaka and Marcos Dorado will not be renewed, while David Bruixola has retired.
