Alejandro 'Álex' Menéndez Díez (born 15 July 1991 in Oviedo, Asturias) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Sporting de Gijón B as a left defender.
[edit] Football career
A product of Sporting de Gijón's prolific youth academy, Menéndez made his senior debuts in 2010–11, playing 21 games in the third division for the reserves, who initially suffered relegation but were later reinstated.
He first appeared officially with the main squad on 13 December 2011, playing 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against RCD Mallorca for the season's Copa del Rey (1–2 aggregate exit).[1] On 1 May of the following year he made his La Liga debut (again featuring the entire match), a 2–3 home loss to Villarreal CF that all but signified the first team's relegation after a four-year stay.
