Quim Rocas, a handball player from Palafrugell who recently concluded an eight-year tenure within the youth and development ranks of FC Barcelona, will compete in the Liga ASOBAL during the upcoming season on loan to Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil. Granollers secured his long-term future by signing him to a contract extending through June 2030, but a lack of space in the dressing room necessitated a temporary move to the Andalusian club based in Puente Genil, Córdoba, to secure regular top-flight playing time.
Transitioning from Barcelona to Puente Genil in Liga ASOBAL
“I never thought I would get this far,” Rocas said. “I have made my way step by step, working hard, moving through categories, and things have come naturally. Now is when I begin to see if I can dedicate myself to handball one hundred percent.” The article does not specify the reason for the loan beyond the lack of space in the dressing room.
Objectives and Stakes for Puente Genil
Puente Genil enters the new Liga ASOBAL season aiming for stability following a difficult campaign last year. The club secured its top-flight survival on the final matchday of the previous season, avoiding relegation by the narrowest of margins. “My purpose is to work hard to have as many minutes as possible,” Rocas noted.
Long-Term Outlook with Fraikin BM Granollers
While Rocas spends the immediate future developing in the province of Córdoba, his long-term professional rights remain tied to Granollers through 2030. Granollers moved quickly to capture his signature once his availability became clear following his exit from Barcelona.
