René Román Hinojo (born 15 December 1983), known simply as René, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for SD Ponferradina on loan from UD Almería as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Born in El Bosque, Cádiz, René made his senior debut with local Arcos CF in the 2002–03 season. He first arrived in Segunda División B in the summer of 2006, signing with Racing Club Portuense.
In the following years, René continued competing in the third level and his native Andalusia, representing Real Betis B (being named to the first team's substitutes bench on three occasions), Unión Estepona CF[1] and CP Cacereño. In July 2012 he signed with fellow league club FC Cartagena,[2] being released the following month[3] and remaining a free agent until January 2013, when he moved to Barakaldo CF.[4]
On 21 July 2013, René signed with Real Jaén, recently promoted to Segunda División.[5] On 11 September, aged 29, he appeared in his first professional match, a 1–0 home win against CD Numancia in the second round of the Copa del Rey;[6] he made his league debut on 20 October, in a 1–0 victory over AD Alcorcón also at the Nuevo Estadio de La Victoria.[7]
On 16 July 2014, René moved to UE Llagostera also in the second tier.[8] On 29 June 2016, after suffering relegation, he joined fellow league team Girona FC after agreeing to a two-year deal.[9]
René contributed with 21 appearances during the season, sharing starting duties with Bono as the Catalan club achieved promotion to La Liga for the first time ever. He left on 5 July 2017,[10] and signed a two-year contract with UD Almería just hours later.[11]
On 22 May 2019, having been an undisputed first-choice, René renewed his contract at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos for a further two years.[12] The following 22 January, however, he was loaned to SD Ponferradina also of the second division for the remainder of the campaign.[13]
