Albacete capture González

Albacete Balompié have signed Chilean international Mark González from CD Universidad Católica in a deal that will keep the 19-year-old at the Spanish club for the next three seasons. The teenager, who made his debut in Chile with Universidad Católica aged just 16, can play in central defence as well as in his preferred left-back position.

New coach
Albacete finished 14th in the Primera División last season and appointed José González as their new coach earlier this month following the departure of César Ferrando to Club Atlético de Madrid. The club have already strengthened their defence with the signing of 26-year-old Real Zaragoza defender Jordi Ferrón on a two-year deal.
