Héctor Fort 'working to stay many years at FC Barcelona'
Héctor Fort is one of the big names at La Masia this last few weeks, in which he has been gaining first team experience. At the club since 2013 and officially an U19 player, he has demonstrated character far beyond that usually expected of someone of his age by filling in as both left and right back for the senior team. He now has four appearances under his belt, three of those from the start.
"I will keep working as I am in the hope of further opportunities" he told the club media. "I feel very proud, very excited and very happy because I have been working towards this for many years, to get where I am today ... La Masia teaches you the Barça values, and now I am eternally grateful to Xavi for all the chances he has given me. Me and the other young players are more than ready for this and we are doing our best to demonstrate that."
Fort was thrilled to play his first game at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Saturday, saying "I have been a Culer all my life and I was very excited to play in front of the fans."
Asked to describe himself, he says "I'm a versatile player, with personality, good with my feet and in good physical shape. I hope that I can stay here, at my home, for as many years as possible."
