Óscar García, Camacho, Ángel and Celorrio will be in Asobal

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto renews the contracts of academy graduates Oscar García, Camacho, Ángel López and Iñigo Celorrio for the 2019-2020 season, marking the red-and-white club's return to the top tier of Spanish handball. The young players from the red-and-white academy have earned their continued place in the first team, which returns to Asobal. These two renewals join that of Leo Querin, whose contract remains in force; the automatic renewal of Dija Cruz upon the team's promotion to Asobal on 9 June; and those of Nacho Mirallave, Guillermo Corzo, Toni Alegre and Marcos Dorado, announced last week.

Youth international Óscar García is staying at home after fulfilling his dream of reaching Asobal with the team he has always played for. García has already made his debut in the top tier of Spanish handball and gradually hopes to play a bigger role in the team, as he did this season in División de Honor Plata. Coach Vicent Nogués highlights that “he is a young prospect from Puerto handball who can play both in the backcourt and on the wing, and we believe his contribution could be important on our return to Asobal.”

Óscar Camacho has also earned a new contract after an excellent season on the wing as Pocholo's successor. He joined the second team two seasons ago, and his work and consistency have helped him develop gradually until earning another opportunity to play in Asobal, where he already made his debut under Nikola Milos. “Camacho has had a very good season. I think he is one of the players who has developed the most, taken on a prominent role and shared the wing with Pocholo, getting valuable minutes and performing very well. I am sure he will be an important member of our team in Asobal,”Nogués adds regarding the young left-hander.

Ángel López is another player from the red-and-white academy who has thoroughly earned his continued place in the team. Angelón also had the opportunity to make his Asobal debut before relegation, and the red-and-white coach says of him: “No one can deny that, with his physical qualities, Angelón can become an important player in Asobal. It is important that he believes in himself, makes the most of his physical abilities and continues to accumulate minutes and importance in the team.”

Regarding Iñigo, who enjoyed playing time in the first team towards the end of the season, Nogués highlights that “Celorrio is a young player who has been at the club for a long time. He is a highly talented player who needs to fulfil his potential. We know he can be a key player in the Asobal team. We expect him to work hard and put in the effort, and I am sure he will get valuable minutes in the first team.”
