César Fernández de las Heras Caneda (born 10 May 1978), known simply as César, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Logroñés as a defender.
He played more than 375 matches in both the Segunda División and the Segunda División B, in a senior career that spanned more than two decades. In La Liga, he appeared for Athletic Bilbao.
Club career
César was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava. Another product of Athletic Bilbao's prolific youth system at Lezama, he could never however fully establish in the first team, only playing a maximum of ten matches in two different La Liga seasons, also having appeared in the 1998–99 UEFA Champions League.[1] He was also loaned to UD Salamanca, Sevilla FC and Racing de Santander, all in the second division (he won promotion with the latter two, being regularly used).
After his permanent release in 2005, César resumed his career in the second level. He appeared regularly for SD Eibar, Cádiz CF and Deportivo Alavés, but suffered two consecutive relegations with the last two clubs.
In the summer of 2009, César joined third division side CD Guijuelo, switching to another team in that tier, CD Mirandés, for 2010–11.[2] On 24 January 2012, the 33-year-old scored in the last minute of a 2–1 home win against RCD Espanyol for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, from a Pablo Infante indirect free kick – the competition's top scorer – as the minnows from Castile and León reached the last-four stage after a 4–4 aggregate score.[3]
César returned to the lower leagues in 2015, going on to represent Racing Santander[4] and UD Logroñés and retire well past his 40s.[5][6]
