Palencia Baloncesto has signed Alejandro Jordá to a two-month temporary contract to bolster its perimeter rotation ahead of the upcoming Primera FEB season, according to club announcements. The 30-year-old exterior player, measuring 1.93 meters, arrives following an injury to Tobias Borg, who underwent surgery after sustaining a left-hand injury during FIBA window fixtures.
The signing provides head coach Natxo Lezkano with immediate veteran depth as the squad prepares for its competitive schedule. Jordá spent the 2025–26 campaign with HLA Alicante, where elnortedecastilla.es reports he averaged 7.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists across 32 appearances while logging an average of 17.7 minutes per contest. Publications covering the club noted that his perimeter shooting serves as a core asset, highlighted by a 40.4% conversion rate from beyond the arc during his time in Alicante, according to elnortedecastilla.es.
Roster Construction and the Absence of Tobias Borg
Jordá’s arrival addresses an immediate backcourt shortage caused by Borg’s extended rehabilitation. Club officials confirmed that the agreement includes an option to extend the initial two-month period depending on team needs and Borg’s recovery timeline. Prior to the addition, Palencia’s management monitored the Swedish player’s progress through July before deciding to enter the market for a temporary replacement.
With Jordá on board, Palencia Baloncesto’s confirmed roster stands at eleven players for the upcoming campaign, according to palenciaenlared.es. The backcourt and wing rotation features returning players like Tobias Borg, Álvaro Muñoz, and Ingus Jakovičs, alongside new arrivals Dani Pérez, Spencer Littleson, Toni Naspler, Álvaro Martínez, and now Jordá. Frontcourt depth includes Josip Vrankić, Tanor Ngom, and Kjel De Graaf.
Extensive FEB Experience and Career Trajectory
Jordá brings a substantial resume within Spanish basketball leagues to Palencia. Formed in the youth systems of Carolinas and Lucentum Alicante, he spent a season playing college basketball in the United States at Cuesta College in California before returning to Spain in 2014. His professional path includes stints with Benidorm, Almansa—with whom he achieved promotion to LEB Plata—Cáceres Patrimonio de la Humanidad, Clavijo, Albacete Basket, and Ciudad de Ponferrada.
In the 2024–25 season, Jordá played for Odilo Cartagena, helping secure promotion from Segunda FEB before returning to HLA Alicante for the subsequent Primera FEB campaign. That familiarity with the division offers Lezkano a plug-and-play alternative on the wing who requires minimal adjustment time to league conditions.
Preseason Schedule and League Opener
Palencia Baloncesto is scheduled to begin its official preseason preparations on August 17, giving Jordá a window of several weeks to integrate into the tactical scheme before competitive fixtures begin. The team will contest multiple friendly matches and tournaments during September to fine-tune rotations.
The regular season in Primera FEB tips off on September 25, with Palencia visiting Bueno Arenas Albacete before playing its first home match against Cajasol Coto Córdoba. These opening fixtures will serve as an immediate audition for Jordá to demonstrate his value and make a case for an extended stay in Palencia beyond his initial two-month term.
