Albert Serrán Polo (born 17 July 1984 in Barcelona, Catalonia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for AEK Larnaca F.C. in Cyprus, as a defender.

Football career

A product of RCD Espanyol's youth system, Serrán appeared in three La Liga matches with the club, his debut coming on 11 March 2007, in a 1–1 draw at Racing de Santander. During his tenure with the Catalans, however, he was mainly registered with the B team.

Deemed surplus to requirements following Tintín Márquez's appointment to the managerial post at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Serrán signed a three-year deal with Welsh club Swansea City, in the English second level, with teammate Jordi Gómez also making the move, on a loan deal. The link contained a buy-back clause that allowed Espanyol to re-sign the player at a later date, but it was later revealed that such clause did not exist; however, the Pericos retained the first option should Swansea wish to sell in future.

Serrán was released by Swansea at the end of the 2010–11 season, which ended in Premier League promotion. He signed with AEK Larnaca F.C. in Cyprus shortly after, having already reached an agreement with the team in May.
