Seven academy players will take part in pre-season with Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto.

One player for each position has been selected by Vicent Nogues and the academy’s sporting director, José María Sanchez Gabaldon, to take part in pre-season with the Asobal team.

A diverse group of players, from newcomers to the Red-and-White Academy who will play throughout the season in a revamped Primera Nacional reserve team under Toni Malla, to players with more experience. This group includes right-back Alex Ortega, who comes from Sant Cugat; pivot Jordi Manero, from Cambrils; and right-handed left-back Arnau Fernandez, who will join the red-and-white set-up at the highest level of demand: an Asobal League team’s pre-season.

Among the other four academy players, we find those who have spent years wearing the red-and-white shirt. The most experienced of them, born in 1994, is left wing Iván Urbano, a club man who will have the opportunity to test his quality alongside the Asobal players.

Alongside him are three young academy prospects who will also have the opportunity to test their skills at the highest level. Goalkeeper Guillermo Martinez, who has just left the youth team; centre-back and Spanish Youth Champion Javier Olivares, still in his second year of youth handball. They are joined by the youngest member of the group, David López Ortego, a first-year youth left-hander who, after also becoming Spanish champion with the Valencian team, will have the opportunity to learn alongside the other academy players in this opportunity provided by Nogues.

All of them, together with Fertiberia’s first team, will begin their summer training on the 1st, when the new physical trainer from Puerto de Sagunto, Toni Martinez, will no doubt have the usual strenuous sessions of the Valencian August prepared for them.
