Miguel Llorens brings elite experience and defensive strength

Miguel Llorens becomes Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto’s second signing for 2026-27, when the Port side will return to the top tier of Spanish handball during their 75th anniversary year.

The 33-year-old, 1.98-metre pivot specialises in defensive work. Born in the Valencian Community town of Petrer, in Alicante province, he arrives to strengthen the centre of the red-and-white defence.

Developed at Club Balonmano Petrer, he joined another provincial side, Balonmano Servigroup Benidorm, in 2013-14. He spent two seasons there and made his Nexus Energía ASOBAL League debut in the second, playing 29 matches and scoring three goals.

He gained his first experience abroad with French club Saint-Étienne Handball in 2016-17 and 2017-18. Llorens returned to Spain in 2018 for a three-year spell with Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda, competing in ASOBAL again in 2020-21 and scoring 14 goals in 34 appearances.

Saint-Étienne was not his only period in France, as he signed for VDHB Valence Drôme Handball in 2021. He later returned to Spanish handball with SANICENTRO BM Guadalajara, making 84 appearances and scoring 18 goals during his three years with the Castile-La Mancha side.

He arrives from Cajasol Sevilla BM Proin, who, like Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto, won promotion from División de Honor Plata in May. The pivot was a key part of the champions’ defensive system as they finished the season with 47 points.

Miguel Llorens therefore joins previously announced signing Guille Soler and returning goalkeepers Dani Martínez and Juani Villarreal. Over the coming days, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto will continue to reveal the remaining members of the 2026-27 squad through the club’s social media channels and website.
