'I've learned and improved' - Hector Fort says heartfelt goodbye to Elche and heads back to Barcelona 'a better footballer'
Hector Fort has ended his loan spell at Elche and offered thanks to the club. He joined with doubts about fitting in but felt welcomed from the first day and became part of the team. He missed part of the season after dislocating his shoulder, yet still made 14 La Liga appearances, scoring two goals and providing two assists. He credited the experience with helping him learn and improve, valuing every match and enjoying time with teammates, staff, and fans. He said injuries kept him from being at 100% but increased his appreciation during both good and difficult moments. He expressed pride in leaving Elche as a First Division team and expects the club to remain in the top flight again.
"When I headed to Elche, I had doubts and fears about how I would fit in or how you would welcome me... but from the very first moment, I knew this club was going to be my home. You welcomed me from day one, extended a helping hand, and made me one of the green and white stripes."
"I've learned and improved more than I could have ever imagined, valuing every victory as if it were my last and enjoying every minute I played with you. To my teammates, the staff, and the fans: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I am infinitely grateful for the year I've spent here."
"The injuries that prevented me from being at 100% when the team needed me most have made me appreciate and enjoy you all even more, both in the good times and the toughest ones."
"I leave proud, happy, and full of lessons learned that have undoubtedly made me a better footballer. Today, Elche remains a First Division team, and will be again next season. Thank you very much, and ¡Mucho Elche!"
