Albacete tie down captain Agus Medina with bumper contract until 2028
The versatile Catalan midfielder commits his future to the Manchegan side with a two-year extension, having become a fan favourite since his 2023 arrival.
Albacete Balompié have secured the long-term future of one of their most influential players, with captain Agus Medina signing a contract extension until 2028.
Captain Commits Future
In a statement released on New Year’s Day, Albacete confirmed they’ve extended Medina’s deal by an additional two years, with his previous contract set to expire this summer. The club described the versatile Catalan as “one of the pillars” of the team, highlighting his importance to their long-term vision.
The renewal aligns perfectly with Albacete’s strategy of building stability and sustainable growth at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte, locking down a player who’s become central to their plans since arriving from SD Ponferradina in summer 2023.
Fan Favourite Status
It didn’t take long for Medina to win over the Manchegan faithful after his arrival. His combination of graft, quality and determination quickly endeared him to supporters, who’ve embraced him as one of their own.
Two and a half years into his Albacete career, the midfielder’s stats speak volumes about his contribution:
- 96 official appearances across all competitions
- 11 goals, with an impressive scoring run this season
- Versatility to operate effectively across multiple positions
- Leadership role as one of the team’s captains
Finding His Shooting Boots
While always valued for his work rate and technical ability, Medina has added a new dimension to his game this season by finding his scoring touch. The club noted he’s emerged as a “sharp shooter” during the current campaign, adding goalscoring prowess to his already impressive skill set.
Having worn the captain’s armband on several occasions this season, this contract extension cements Medina’s status as a cornerstone of Albacete’s project for the foreseeable future.
For Albacete fans, securing Medina’s signature represents a proper Bobby Dazzler of a deal as they look to push on in the second half of the season.
