Ayoze Díaz Díaz, simply Ayoze (born 25 May 1982), is a Spanish footballer who plays for Deportivo de La Coruña in Segunda División, mainly as a left defender.
[edit] Football career
Born in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Canary Islands, and brought through the ranks of local CD Tenerife, Ayoze made his debuts with the first team in 2002–03. After just one second division season, he joined top flight Racing de Santander, where he was relatively used, as a defender or midfielder, during his first three seasons (with a loan to soon-to-be-extinct Ciudad de Murcia in between).
During 2007–08, as the Cantabria side achieved a first ever UEFA Cup qualification, Ayoze became first-choice, relegating historical and veteran Luis Fernández to the bench.
In July 2008, Ayoze signed a three-year deal with RCD Mallorca, replacing Sevilla FC-bound Fernando Navarro.[1] During his first season, he started as backup to another newly signed, Enrique Corrales, but finished in the starting XI.
In the 2009–10 season, as Mallorca finished in fifth position and qualified for the UEFA Europa League, Ayoze completely won the battle for first-choice status over Corrales, appearing in 33 matches.
