Óscar Sielva Moreno (born 6 August 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for SD Huesca.

Club career[edit]

Born in Olot, Girona, Catalonia, Sielva was a product of local RCD Espanyol's youth system. He made his first-team (and La Liga) debut on 30 August 2008, at the age of 17 years and 24 days, in the season opener against Real Valladolid, coming on as a substitute for Iván de la Peña in the closing stages of the game and being booked in a 1–0 home win.[2] He appeared in four more matches in that first campaign, before fracturing his clavicle twice.[3]

In late August 2009, Sielva was loaned to FC Cartagena, recently promoted to Segunda División.[4] He appeared in only one sixth of the league games during the campaign, often clashing with manager Juan Ignacio Martínez who wanted to play him out of position as a winger;[5] he returned to Espanyol in January 2010.

Deemed surplus to requirements at his parent club,[3] Sielva was also only reinstated with the reserves in January 2011. On 14 November, he joined Málaga CF's B team in a mutual agreement between both clubs.[6]

Sielva was released by Málaga at the end of 2012–13. He subsequently underwent trials at FC Barcelona B, Girona FC[7] and Swansea City,[8][9] with no success.

On 17 June 2014, after one year out of football, Sielva signed for UE Olot in the Segunda División B.[10] He continued to compete in divisions three and four in the following years, representing Marbella FC,[11] CE Europa,[12] UD Somozas, Rápido de Bouzas and SD Ponferradina.[13]

Sielva was an undisputed starter during his spell at the Estadio El Toralín, achieving promotion to the second tier in 2019.[14] He scored his first goal in the competition on 27 September 2020, opening the 3–0 home victory over Rayo Vallecano.[15]

On 21 June 2021, after scoring a career-best ten times, Sielva moved to fellow second-division side SD Eibar on a three-year contract.[16] On 5 August of the following year, he was loaned to SD Huesca in the same league.[17]

On 22 June 2023, Sielva signed a permanent three-year deal with Huesca.[18]

International career[edit]

Sielva was a regular for the Spain under-17 side, playing a vital role in its triumph during the 2008 UEFA European Championship held in Turkey.[19]
