Antonio Capitán will remain with Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto for the next two seasons (2025-2026 and 2026-2027) following the agreement reached between the player and the club.
The Andalusian has spent his first season at the club this campaign after signing a one-season deal in the summer of 2024, arriving from ARS Palma del Río.

With the Córdoba province side, he scored as many as 131 goals in Primera Nacional. Before that, he spent two seasons with another team from the province (Balonmano Aguilar), who signed him from Balonmano Estepa of Seville, where he remained until 2021.

When he joined the red-and-white squad, he stood out both for his defensive and attacking qualities; however, he has ultimately established himself definitively in the centre of the defence, becoming one of the indispensable players. Despite his reduced attacking involvement, he has scored more than 40 goals in the 27 matches he has played in the 2024-2025 season in the División de Honor Plata Masculina.

‘Capi’ has established himself in the centre of the usual 6-0 defence and, during some stages of matches, has even been seen in pressing formations such as 5-1. In attack, making the most of his strong defensive performances, he has always contributed by scoring in empty-net situations, counter-attacks and the start of second waves. To a lesser extent, he has also been seen carrying out positional attacks from different positions.

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto, who had been monitoring him for a long time because of his significant progress, have reaffirmed their commitment to him after seeing him in action on the 40x20 court. The continuity of first-team coach Toni Malla’s backbone continues to grow.

This renewal follows those already announced for head coach Toni Malla, under the formula of two fixed seasons and one optional season, and for players Dani Martínez, Arnau Fernández, Matheus de Novais, Joaquín Barceló and Diego Olba (all five until 2027), as well as academy graduates David García and Javier Olivares (both until 2026). As for new signings, the only confirmed arrival to date is Alex Pozzer, who will also remain at the club until 2027.

More renewals and new signings will be announced in the coming weeks through the club’s website and social media channels.
