Members

Struggling RC Recreativo de Huelva have signed full-back Mariano Pernía on loan from Club Atlético Independiente.

RC Recreativo de Huelva have boosted their hopes of survival with the acquisition of Argentinian full-back Mariano Pernía.

Six-month loan
Pernía arrives at the Primera División's bottom club from Club Atlético Independiente, winners of the opening round of the Argentinian championship. Recreativo have signed the 25-year-old on a six-month loan with the option of making the deal permanent in the summer.

'A big step'
Pernía, an attacking left-back, said "coming to European football is a big step" but was confident of making his mark "despite the pace of the game" in Spain. The Spanish league's oldest club, Recreativo have won just two of 16 games played so far in their first season in the top flight since the 1970s.
