Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto sign Jaka Spiljak

Jaka Spiljak is the chosen player to complete the squad of right-handers for the left-back position alongside Alfredo Sorrentino and academy player Juan Antonio Sari .

Jaka Splijak was born in Slovenia 27 years ago (1-4-1989) and is coach Nikola Milos's personal choice as a replacement for Rolandas Bernatonis. The Slovenian shared a team with the Croatian coach in the 2013-2014 season at Austrian side HSG Raiffeisen B0rnbach-Kf6flach. Thus, although he is a player unknown to local supporters, he is by no means unknown to the Croatian coach, who knows him thoroughly. At 195 cm tall and with his imposing physique, Spiljak is an all-round player, exactly to the Croatian coach's liking. He spent the last two seasons at HG Saarlouis in Germany's Bundesliga2, and in the latest season in particular he became the 'boss' of the German side's defence. In the previous season, his first in Germany after arriving from Austria, he played many more minutes in attack, scoring 90 goals in 38 matches. Likewise, his scoring record in Austria was impressive, with 72 goals in 22 matches. Before moving to Germany and Austria, he spent practically his entire career at one of Slovenia's best clubs, Celje Pivovarna, where he stayed from 2003 to 2011. In the 2011-2012 season he played for fellow Slovenian top-flight side RK Jeruzalem Ormo. He represented Slovenia at youth level, playing in the European Junior Championship in 2008.
