Mikel Arce Hualde (born 15 June 1984) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a forward.

Football career

Arce was born in Pamplona, Navarre.[1] After graduating from CA Osasuna's youth academy[2] he spent the entirety of his Spanish career in the lower leagues; he appeared only once in the Segunda División B, as a second-half substitute in SD Lemona's 3–0 away win against Marino de Luanco.[3][4]

In the 2007–08 season, Arce scored 20 Tercera División goals for CD Lourdes, and was signed by Major League Soccer side San Jose Earthquakes in the ensuing offseason.[5] In the following transfer window he moved teams – and countries – again, joining Club 12 de Octubre[6] for whom he featured in the Paraguayan Primera División.[7]

In the summer of 2009, Arce returned to Spain and resumed his career in the lower divisions and amateur football.[8][9][10]

Personal life

In October 2012, in a Beauty King and Queen contest held in Villarrobledo, Arce finished in third position, being elected Best Spanish Body in the process.[11][12]
