Pau Ferré, Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto's new centre back

Pau Ferré: ‘I believe I can contribute both in attack and defence, with versatility in both areas’

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto announces the signing of La Roca del Vallès centre back Pau Ferré. The 21-year-old Catalan (4/10/2000) joins from Acanor Novás in the División de Honor Plata, where he has competed for promotion back to ASOBAL for two consecutive seasons. Ferré began his development at La Roca, his local team, where he played until cadet level. He then joined BM Granollers' academy, making his first-team debut in the Liga Asobal. The Catalan centre back also had the opportunity to play in a European Championship with the RFEBM youth team. 

The Catalan player comments on his signing: ‘I am very happy to begin a new experience in a place like this. Among the many external factors, we could mention the way handball is experienced here and the location, but above all it was Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto's sporting project that convinced me to commit to it.’

Regarding the objectives for the season, Pau Ferré adds: ‘I am aware that  Fertiberia have an ambitious sporting project, and I believe the objective is clear: to fight for promotion and achieve it. Personally, I believe I can contribute both in attack and defence, with versatility in both areas.’

Regarding the Ovni supporters, Ferré says: ‘I hope we can enjoy it from day one, them with us and us with them. Together, the journey will surely be easier and more enjoyable.’

Toni Malla, coach of the red-and-white side, explains about Ferré: ‘Pau is a player who fulfils all the requirements we were looking for in a centre back: vision, the ability to draw defenders, a good mid-range shot and goals. He is also indispensable in the defensive system of his previous teams. He is another very young player who will help us build a compact unit for the future, and he is hungry to win.’
