Elche CF has announced the renewal of Josan Ferrández for another season, until June 30, 2027. The Crevillente native will thus face his tenth campaign with the team, consolidating himself as one of the most emblematic players in the club's recent history. With 281 official matches, he holds the ninth position in the list of players with the most games played for the Illicitano team.
What does this renewal mean for Elche CF?
The continuity of Josan Ferrández is key news for Elche CF, which finished the 2025 season in 15th place in LaLiga EA Sports with 43 points (10 wins, 13 draws, and 15 losses). The midfielder has been a protagonist in some of the club's most important moments, including promotions to LaLiga and the recent permanence under the orders of Éder Sarabia. His experience and leadership will be fundamental in the next campaign.
What is Josan's legacy at the club?
Trained in Elche's youth academy, Ferrández returned to the team in 2017 from Albacete Balompié. Since then, he has played 281 matches, leaving his mark on the club's last three promotions. His presence in midfield has been vital, especially in the 2025-26 season, where he played 23 matches (19 in the League and 4 in the Copa del Rey).
What's next for Elche CF?
With this renewal, Elche CF ensures the continuity of one of its captains and strengthens its squad for the upcoming season. The team, which scored 49 goals and conceded 57 last season, will seek to improve its performance to move away from the relegation zone. Ferrández will continue to be a key piece in Sarabia's project, which aims to consolidate the team in the top division.
