See you forever, my Elche!!!

Today is a very difficult day for me. I have received an offer to join Middlesbrough in the Premier League immediately. You don't choose the moments, but it is a very important professional opportunity.

After seven seasons and almost 300 games I only have words of gratitude to Elche C.F., the city and all the fans who have shown a lot of respect and consideration.

When you look back you feel the obligation to thank all the coaches and technical staff for their trust year after year. They have helped me grow professionally and personally. But also, I have formed a family with all the components, props, medical staff, players, club workers... And what can I say about my goalkeepers; Without them, the path would not have been the same nor as exciting and enriching.

For me, Elche is much more than the club that gave me the opportunity to be in the football elite. Elche will always be in my heart and so will all the people who have been part of it in recent years. I will always be another green franji.

And I will never stop being an Elche native either. I found my wife here and she will make me linked to the city forever.

A LOT OF ELCHE!!!

There are a few moments, not all of them are there, nor are all the people who have formed this adventure. But I'm sure many of you can relate too. Thank you, thank you and thank you for so much.
