Elche has announced the renewal of Fidel Chaves for two more seasons, until June 2024. In this way, the club from Elche ties up the 31-year-old left-handed winger (32 next week), who was ending his contract at the end of this championship. It prolongs the relationship of one of the most important soccer players in the recent history of Elche, with two promotions to First, in addition to one of the team captains.
Fidel accumulates 159 games, 22 goals and 21 assists (data via Transfermarkt) between his five championships, including the present, as a franjiverde. With Elche, he has always enjoyed a leading role. In its first stage, it celebrated a promotion to First (2012/2013) and a stay in the elite. After passing through Córdoba, Almería and Las Palmas, he returned to the Elche team, where when he reached his thirties he is signing the best level of his career. He achieved a new promotion to First (2019/2020) and another salvation in the highest category. In addition to registering better statistics, he has also developed versatility: he has come to act as winger, lane and inside.
“It seems like yesterday when I arrived in this city, as a teenager, and not even in my best dreams did I imagine so many unforgettable moments. What we have experienced together has been very great, but an exciting challenge lies ahead: for the club to celebrate its Centennial where it deserves: in the highest category of Spanish football, “Fidel told the official channels of Elche.
