Who Am I?

I was born in Llanera, Spain in 1984 and played my early football in the Real Oviedo youth setup and excelled despite my diminutive stature.

Villareal CF saw my early promise and I signed professional terms a few months before my 18th birthday, working my way up through the reserves to take an intermittent place in the first team including impressive displays in the then UEFA Cup.

First team opportunities became limited, and I made the switch to Andalucia with Recreativo and helped the team finish 8th in their return to the Primara Liga.

A clause in my contract allowed my return to Villareal where I excelled in helping the club finish second in my first season back.

I have 12 caps for Spain scoring 2 goals.
