Table of Contents
A fresh start awaits Adrien Dubois, a 24-year-old handball player, as he officially joins Dijon Handball after a period of uncertainty following teh liquidation of Nancy Handball. The move,finalized earlier this week,provides Dubois with a new possibility in the Starligue,France’s premier handball league.
The ordeal of finding a new club weighed heavily on Dubois, as many of his former teammates had already secured contracts. This challenging period concluded on Monday with a two-year deal – with a third season as an option – with the promoted Burgundian team.
Dijon Seeks Reinforcements on the Left Wing
Dijon, currently at the bottom of the Starligue standings with five losses in as many games, was actively seeking a player to bolster their left-wing position.The team began the season with only one “professional” player in that role, loïs pasquet, highlighting the urgent need for additional talent. This signing directly addresses that need.
A Return to the Elite League
Dubois’s arrival marks a return to the starligue for the player, who previously competed with Montpellier Handball (MHB) between 2021 and 2024. His time in Nancy, beginning in 2024, was marked by success, with a notable record of 146 goals and a 68.5% shooting efficiency.
He will now compete in the Côte d’Or region, returning to the elite championship he previously experienced with Montpellier. Dubois initially developed his skills under the guidance of Ulrich chaduteaud,the former coach of Dijon,during his time in the lower professional leagues.
The move represents a welcome change for Dubois, described by sources as having been “morale in the socks” during his recent search for a team, and is viewed with “a good dose of relief and gluttony.”
