Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto loan Alex Tello to Florida and sign Marc Andreu

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto academy graduate Alex Tello is moving, at his own request, on loan to Florida Handbol Catarroja of the Primera Nacional. Last week, the red-and-white player expressed his wish to join Florida Handbol on loan, “in order to get more playing time”, as stated in the formal written request he submitted at the board's request. The red-and-white coach commented that “Alex was a player who had been part of the first-team plans from the very beginning”, but believes that “injuries and Diego Roque's emergence as an alternative to Grau at left back led him to make that decision”. Pachi also states that “although this is a setback at this stage of the squad planning, I believe that a change of division will do him no harm.” In view of this situation, and given Fertiberia's need for a first-line player to replace Tello, coach Pachi has decided to sign Marc Andreu Martinez Fonfria, a centre-back from Florida Handbol who was already one of the players invited to pre-season training alongside Ximo Martinez of Maristes de Algemessi. Marc Andreu is 22 years old (182 cm and 80 kg) and is one of the most promising centre-backs in the province of Valencia's academy system. Born in Picanya, he has regularly featured for all of the Valencian Community's youth teams and, despite his young age, has an outstanding record in the Primera Nacional. It is enough to note that over the last two seasons he has played 44 matches in the third tier, scoring 235 goals—an average of five goals per match. Marc Andreu has been training under Pachi Marti since Tuesday, and the red-and-white club is accelerating all the necessary procedures so that he can be available to the coach for this Saturday's match in Guadalajara.
