Óscar García joins Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto’s first team

Home-grown rojiblanco player Óscar García will play for Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto’s División de Honor Plata team. The young player, who recently turned 18, made his Asobal debut last season after an excellent pre-season, and this year he has earned the trust of new manager Vicent Nogués to be the team’s centre back alongside Dija Cruz. Óscar, who is preparing to play his first European Championship with Spain’s youth team, says he is “very happy; it is the dream of every player who has been at the club’s academy since childhood. Until recently I watched them and said, ‘I want to be there one day’, and in the end, with hard work, sacrifice, commitment and luck, I have achieved it and will be in the first team. I am grateful to the club for the great opportunity they have given me. I am very eager and excited to get started.” Regarding the project to return to the top tier of Spanish handball, García believes that “I don’t know what the league is like in the Plata division, but with the squad being put together, I think we can fight to return to Asobal. The team itself has a lot of quality; that said, we have to work hard throughout the year to achieve the objective of promotion.” With the renewal of Óscar García, Fertiberia’s first team is taking shape. At centre back there will be Dija Cruz and Óscar García; at right back, Leo Querin and Nacho Mirallave; on the right wing, Pocholo García; at left back, Guillermo Corzo; on the left wing, Josep Folqués; at pivot, Iván Montoya; in goal, David Bruixola; and on the bench, Vicent Nogués and Vicente Sos. This week we will announce who will join Montoya at pivot and, shortly, the left back, left wing and right wing players still to arrive, as well as who will line up in goal alongside David Bruixola.
