Rolandas Bernatonis is Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto’s new player

Rolandas Bernatonis (Kaunas, 22-01-1987) completes the red-and-white squad ahead of their fifth consecutive season in the Asobal League.

Bernatonis is a left back from Helvetia Anaitasuna with extensive experience in Spanish handball. Three seasons at Bidasoa, where he arrived in Spain in the División de Honor Plata from Granitas Kaunas, and three seasons in the Asobal League with Helvetia Anaitasuna demonstrate this. The Lithuanian, standing 191 cm tall and weighing 98 kg, guarantees a powerful shot from distance, as shown by his 105 goals in 26 matches during his final season at Anaitasuna—an impressive average of four goals per match. Bernatonis has extensive international experience. In addition to the two Champions League campaigns he played with his Kaunas team, he is a regular in his country’s senior national team. The Lithuanian’s signing was made possible by additional financial support committed to the red-and-white club by Mayor Alfredo Castelló. Otherwise, the squad would have been completed with the signings of Sladic and Victor Alvarez, the departures of Samuel, Andreu, Dimitriewski, Grau and Apelgren, and the renewals of the remaining members of the red-and-white club. With Bernatonis’s arrival, Pachi Marti now has the squad finalised. Training will begin on 4 August with two sessions: the first, a physical session at 9 am on the inter-district athletics tracks, and the afternoon session from 7 pm at the Rene Marigil in Sagunto, as the Ovni will be closed for parquet maintenance during the first half of August.
