Oriol Teixidor, Catalan firepower on the left wing

Oriol Teixidor becomes Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto’s second signing for the 2025-2026 season. The left wing has signed until the end of the season.   The Catalan backcourt player began his professional career at the club in his home town, Unió Esportiva Sarrià. In the 2018-2019 season, he helped Sarrià earn promotion from Primera Nacional to the División de Honor Plata Masculina. After being relegated from that division in the 2021-2022 season, Valinox Novás secured his services.   He was with the Pontevedra side from the summer of 2021 until this year, 2025. In the recently completed campaign, they were relegated to Primera Nacional once again, with El Rosal finishing second from bottom (15th) on 18 points in the regular season. Despite this, Oriol was one of the squad’s standout players, scoring as many as 103 goals in the 21 matches he played.   “We have been following ‘Uri’ closely for several years. He will bring goals, directness and versatility to the backcourt, in attacking terms. We also believe he will contribute defensively within our playing model,” said Toni Malla, the first-team coach from Puerto Sagunto, about the new signing.   “Beyond the sporting side, he is a young man arriving with all the hunger and enthusiasm needed to achieve the team objectives we have set ourselves. We are more than convinced that we have made a great signing,” added the coach from Tortosa about the new member’s qualities off the court.   This announcement follows the one already made in April regarding Alex Pozzer, who will remain with the club until 2027. As for renewals, those of head coach Toni Malla, on a deal comprising two fixed seasons and one optional season; players Dani Martínez, Arnau Fernández, Matheus de Novais, Joaquín Barceló, Diego Olba and Antonio Capitán (all six until 2027); and academy graduates David García and Javier Olivares (both until 2026) are now official.   More renewals and signings will be announced in the coming weeks via the club’s website and social media channels.
