The Bathco BM Torrelavega handball club has secured the signing of Cuban left-back Frank Cordiés, bolstering their squad for the next season. Cordiés arrives from Bada Huesca, where he has spent the last four seasons developing into a prominent goal scorer in the Asobal League.
At nearly 26 years old and standing close to two meters tall, Cordiés is recognized for his imposing physique, which contributes to his reputation as a powerful shooter and an effective defender. During his tenure with Bada Huesca, he accumulated 368 goals in 106 league matches. His scoring potential was further highlighted by a season-ending injury that limited his participation in the latter part of the current year.
Cordiés brings a wealth of experience to Torrelavega. Prior to his time in Huesca, he played three seasons with Balonmano Alarcos in Ciudad Real and had a stint with German club VFL Postdam. His initial experience in Spain was with BM Logroño La Rioja.
Excited about the project the team has, the extreme quality of the players, having a demanding coach.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the move, Cordiés cited the team's project, the high quality of the players, and the demanding coaching staff as key factors in his decision. He noted Torrelavega's competitive spirit and ambition to improve.
Cordiés is the fourth new addition to Bathco BM Torrelavega for the upcoming season. He joins Saeid Barkhordari, Rangel Luan, and Mikael Lopes, alongside the returning loaned players Diego Gándara and Pedro Berrío.
Torrelavega is a team that competes until the end and that shows, wanting to go further.
