Template:Spanish name Juan Carlos Valerón Santana (born 17 June 1975) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Las Palmas as an attacking midfielder.

He is known for his technical abilities, especially passing skills and ball control. He also had many injuries during his professional career.[1][2] Over the course of 15 seasons he amassed La Liga totals of 390 games and 29 goals, in representation of Mallorca, Atlético Madrid and Deportivo La Coruña, spending 13 years with the latter club.

Valerón represented Spain in the 2002 World Cup and two European Championships, gaining 46 caps.

Club career

Early years

Born in Arguineguín, Gran Canaria,[3] Valerón started playing with hometown club Las Palmas, but switched to the Balearic Islands in 1997–98, representing Mallorca and making his La Liga debut on 31 August 1997, playing ten minutes in a 2–1 home win over Valencia.

He was an instrumental figure in the side's qualification for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, with the club also finishing fifth in the league and reaching the final of the Copa del Rey, lost to eventual champions Barcelona in a penalty shoot-out.

Atlético Madrid / Deportivo

In the next two years, Valerón played for Atlético Madrid where he was an undisputed starter but, following the club's relegation in 1999–2000, he joined Deportivo de La Coruña, sharing club and position with equally talented Brazilian Djalminha. He gradually would become first-choice, signing a contract to eventually see off the remainder of his career with the Galicians in February 2004.[4]

In January 2006, however, Valerón started a bad run with injuries. He suffered a knee injury[5] which relapsed in July[6] and early 2007 (with him only managing two league appearances in the process), leading to another surgery.[7] Consequently he did not reappear until midway through 2007–08.

On 27 January 2008, Valerón returned to the bench in Deportivo's 3–1 home win against Valladolid, replacing Andrés Guardado for the final 15 minutes – his first match for over a year. In the 2008–09 season, aged 33, he eventually became an important first-team fixture again,[8] both on domestic and European fronts.[9]

36-year-old Valerón was an undisputed starter for Depor in 2011–12, scoring a career-best five goals in nearly 3,000 minutes of action in Segunda División as his team returned to the top flight after one year out, as champions.[10]

Return to Las Palmas

On 14 July 2013, following another Deportivo relegation, Valerón returned to his first club Las Palmas after 16 years, signing a 1+1 contract.[11]

International career

A Spanish international since 18 November 1998 in a 2–2 friendly draw with Italy in Salerno,[12] Valerón appeared with the national side at UEFA Euro 2000, the 2002 FIFA World Cup (where he scored in a 3–1 win against Slovenia[13]) and Euro 2004, netting immediately after coming from the bench in a 1–0 victory over Russia in the latter competition.[14]

He played the last of his 46 international matches in March 2005, a 3–0 win over China.[15]
