Guillem Ferrando Porro (Benifairó de la Valldigna, 2002) is the fourth signing of Básquet Girona for the next season. The arrival of the Valencian base (184 cm.) responds to the club’s desire to accompany young players in their sporting development.

Ferrando is a player trained in the quarry of Valencia Basket, where he made his debut with the first team in the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv of the Euroleague in the 19-20 season. Since then, he has alternated between the EBA, LEB Plata and ACB leagues at Valencia Basket with the LEB Or league, being loaned for a few months to Melilla Ciudad del Deporte and Albacete Basket, promising 13.4 points, 4.3 assists and 12 .5 rating in his time at Albacete Basket, the 22/23 season. He started this last season in the ACB League and Eurolliga with Valencia Basket, although he was later loaned to Movistar Estudiantes of the LEB Or.

The new member of the Girona team has added 40.3% in 3-point shots, making 6.9 points, 2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 18 minutes on average in the LEB Or. In the play-off for promotion to the ACB league, he averaged 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 19 minutes.

Fernando San Emeterio, Sporting Director: “He is a baseman who seeks to make the team play, he controls the times well, so he fits the philosophy of Fotis Katsikaris. In addition, he has a good hand in the catch and shoot and will help us open defenses. He is at the optimal point to get on the train of an ACB team and grow with us for many years.”

Guillem Ferrando: “I really want to start playing games with you and vibrate together in Fontajau. Here we are Girona!”
