Jose Manuel García “Pocholo” to wear Alser Puerto Sagunto's red-and-white shirt

Left winger Jose Manuel García “Pocholo”, from Helvetia Anaitasuna, becomes a player for Alser Puerto Sagunto

 Pocholo, as Jose Manuel García is known in the handball world, joins Alser Puerto Sagunto's list of signings for the 2012–2013 season. The 184 cm, 83-kilogram left-handed player comes from Helvetia Anaitasuna, with whom he was promoted from the Silver Division of Honour.

 This 28-year-old from Cáceres, who came through the Colegio Paideuterion academy and was a junior international on three occasions, has an extensive record in Spanish handball. He reached the elite with BM Valladolid, where he made his Asobal debut, then played for Bidasoa, also in the Asobal League, before joining Anaitasuna. Last year he was unfortunately seriously injured and could play only twelve Asobal matches for Helvetia, but he still had time to score 31 goals, averaging a respectable 2.58 goals per match. With Pocholo's signing, together with Sergio Berrios's renewal, the Valencian team has a high-quality, experienced pair of right-wingers in our league. With Pocholo's arrival, Alser have 11 players, while awaiting the announcement of at least two more signings, who will probably be back-court players, the most understrength position in Vicent Nogues's team at present.
