Template:Spanish name 2 Cristian Portilla Rodríguez (born 28 August 1988) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Mensajero mainly as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Portilla was born in Santander, Cantabria. The son of a former footballer, he entered local Racing de Santander's youth academy at nine alongside cousin Carlos Mata, after allegedly receiving an offer from Deportivo de La Coruña after a tournament, which his father turned down.
After playing with the B-side, Portilla first appeared with the professionals on 12 March 2006 during a 1–2 away loss against Atlético Madrid,[1] playing two more La Liga games during the season. During his first years he could only add another appearance with the main squad and, in January 2008, was loaned to Racing de Ferrol[2] who were finally relegated from the second division.
To further continue his development as a player (still aged 20), Portilla was loaned again in the following campaign, moving to SD Ponferradina in the third level.[3] For 2009–10 he was bought by Sporting de Gijón in the top flight, with Santander having an option to re-acquire the player in three years; in his first year, he spent time with both the first and second teams, the latter in division three.[4]
In late December 2010, Portilla left Asturias and joined Aris F.C. (Thessaloniki) in Greece, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.[5] He was released a year later.
In the following years, Portilla did not settle with any team, representing CD Atlético Baleares,[6] Glyfada FC,[7] Budapest Honvéd FC[8] and Mitra Kukar FC.[9]
