Fertiberia strengthens its squad with centre-back Nico López Rey

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announce the signing of centre-back Nicolás López Rey from Balonmano Dólmenes Antequera, where he arrived in 2022–23. He has also played for other teams such as Villa de Aranda, Guadalajara, Cuenca, Novás and San José Obrero Lanzarote, so he has extensive experience in the División de Honor Plata.

The Madrid-born centre-back arrives to strengthen the squad following the long-term absence facing Javier Olivares after undergoing another operation for an elongation of the ligament graft. The Puerto Sagunto player will be unable to return to the court for the next 8 months. 

The red-and-white coach, Toni Malla, explains that ‘after Javi Olivares suffered a setback in his serious injury, we looked for a replacement. I want to say to him here that his team is sending him all its strength and energy and that we are waiting for him!’

‘Therefore, we decided to look for a replacement. In this case, Nico is a centre-back with a great deal of experience in the division, who will bring us composure in our attacking positional play and, at the same time, another attacking option’, Malla concludes.
