It was one of the biggest transfer news in the history of the Swiss league when Kadetten Schaffhausen announced the signing of Joan Cañellas last summer.

Cañellas arrived with an incredible CV: World champion and two-time EHF EURO champion with Spain, EHF EURO 2014 top scorer, EHF Champions League winner with Vardar Skopje in 2017 and stints with the likes of Barça, Ciudad Real, THW Kiel and HSV. After three seasons at Szeged in Hungary, the 35-year-old opened a new chapter in his career with a surprise move to Switzerland.
