Michael Apelgren signs for Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto announce the signing of Swedish international centre-back Michael Apelgren. Born on 20 August 1984 (181 cm and 87 kg), Apelgren joins from Swedish league champions IK Sävenhof, where he has played since the 2010–2011 season. The Swede has experience in the ASOBAL league, having played for BM Granollers in the 2008–2009 and 2009–2010 seasons. Before that, from 2003 onwards, he represented Hammarby, his first elite club.

He has won the Swedish league five times and was a European Cup Winners’ Cup runner-up in 2010. He has scored more than 1,000 goals in the Swedish league. He has been capped five times by the senior national team and 38 times by the under-21 side.

With this signing, the Valencian club strengthens its roster of top-level players and seeks a high-quality replacement for retired player Fernando Latorre.

Apelgren is expected to arrive in Puerto Sagunto this Wednesday afternoon, so that he can immediately report for duty with Pachi Martí.
