Antonio Guayre Betancor Perdomo, known as Guayre (born 23 April 1980 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands), is a Spanish footballer.

Comfortable in various offensive positions - mainly winger - his professional career was constantly hindered by injuries, and he played mainly for Villarreal CF.

Club career

After emerging through hometown UD Las Palmas's ranks, Guayre made his top flight debut on 14 October 2000, in a 2–1 home success against Málaga CF, and would contribute greatly to the side's escape from relegation.

He went on to represent Villarreal CF (where he would become an important offensive figure in the team's domestic and European consolidation, although never an automatic first-choice) and Celta de Vigo.

After two injury-ravaged seasons with Celta, Guayre returned to the first division, joining CD Numancia in August 2008. Again troubled by injuries, he played his first match for the Soria outfit on 11 January 2009, appearing from the bench in a 2–0 home win over Getafe CF, and was released from contract at the end of the season.

In July 2009, Guayre returned to his first professional club, reuniting with the coach who gave him his topflight debut, Sergije Krešić, and midfielders Jorge Larena (another youth product of Las Palmas) and Josico. In his first year, he continued to be constantly bothered with physical problems, appearing in less than one 1/2 of the matches; the Canary Islands side also finished in 17th position, just one point above the relegation zone.

International career

On 9 February 2005, Guayre earned his sole cap for Spain, playing 15 minutes in a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier 5–0 success against San Marino, in Almería.
