Orihuela continues to rise under new leadership
Orihuela confirmed that the 23-year-old Venezuelan striker will join the squad on Tuesday, January 9, as announced by club officials. The new player, a rising talent known for his pace and finishing, arrives from the Second Federation where he contributed regularly for his previous team. He was part of the starting lineup in 15 of 18 league fixtures, and he also appeared in 3 Copa del Rey ties, tallying four goals over 1,050 minutes on the pitch.
It was Chalbaud who sparked a recent triumph, delivering a late win for his former club with a 2-1 result against Oriolanos in the October 15 match at the Lebrija Municipal Stadium. That performance highlighted his ability to influence tight games and make decisive contributions when it matters most.
Orihuela de Guilló keeps climbing

Under the guidance of new coach Sergi Guilló, Orihuela has secured back-to-back league wins, shaking off the post-break points pressure and moving away from the danger zone. The team has shown resilience and improved cohesion, turning recent results into momentum while the battle to climb the table continues. The squad is focused on maintaining consistency, pushing the limits, and building depth to sustain their form across the season.
The coming Sunday, January 14, presents a real test. Orihuela faces Sevilla’s reserve side at the Jesús Navas stadium, a venue known for its demanding atmosphere. Guilló’s players will need to replicate their recent level and translate it into a strong performance against the league leader in their home surroundings. The challenge comes at a crucial time, as the team sits just three points above the relegation boundary and seeks to widen the gap through a positive result.
