Club career

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Castellano graduated from UD Las Palmas' youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in 2006, in Tercera División. On 15 December 2007 he appeared in his first game as a professional, starting in a 1–3 away loss against Polideportivo Ejido for the Segunda División championship.[1]

On 31 January 2008, Castellano moved to another reserve team, RCD Mallorca B also in the fourth level.[2] He first appeared with the main squad on 8 January of the following year, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 home win over UD Almería for the Copa del Rey; eight days later, he was loaned to Segunda División B club Deportivo Alavés until June.[3]

After another loan stint at AD Ceuta,[4] Castellano rescinded with the Balearic Islands side in June 2011. Late in the month, he returned to his first club Las Palmas, after agreeing to a three-year deal.[5]

Castellano played 12 games in the 2014–15 campaign, helping to a return to La Liga after 13 years. He made his debut in the competition on 22 August 2015, starting and featuring 80 minutes in a 0–1 defeat at Atlético Madrid.[6]

Castellano's twin brother, Javier, is also a footballer and a midfielder. He too represented Las Palmas.[7]
