Fertiberia sign Galician pivot Marcos Dorado

Marcos Dorado will wear the Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto shirt next season in the División de Honor Plata. The Galician player, who arrives from BM Torrelavega, will share the pivot position with Iván Montoya and promises to be key to the red-and-whites’ return to the top tier of Spanish handball. He is a pivot standing 1.95 metres tall and weighing 95 kilos. Before joining Torrelavega, Dorado helped Teucro reach Asobal and also played for Atlético Novás. Red-and-white coach Vicent Nogués highlighted the following about the Galician pivot: “He is different from Iván: he is big, defends at number three and has played for many Silver Division teams, even winning promotion with Teucro. We believe he can form a good partnership with Querin and with the number three who joins us. He is a mobile player who can defend at number three in a 5:1 defence. He also gets into position well and runs well on the counter-attack in the second wave.” Marcos Dorado, for his part, is very excited about the red-and-white club’s project “I am really looking forward to starting; I think it will be an exciting project. Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto are a long-established Asobal team and did not deserve to be relegated. I am already looking forward to arriving in Puerto de Sagunto, meeting my team-mates and working to achieve the objective of promotion.” Regarding the signing of Óscar García, announced yesterday, the manager added that “He is a promising player from Puerto de Sagunto and we are going to use him on the front line. We are very excited that he can be one of the key players in our team with local blood.” Dorado’s signing means that Fertiberia’s first-team squad is taking shape. In centre will be Dija Cruz and Óscar García; at right back, Leo Querin and Nacho Mirallave; on the right wing, Pocholo García; at left back, Guillermo Corzo; on the left wing, Josep Folqués; at pivot, Iván Montoya and Marcos Dorado; in goal, David Bruixola; and on the bench, Vicent Nogués and Vicente Sos. It remains to be announced who will play at left back and on the left and right wings in the project, as well as who will be in goal alongside David Bruixola.
