Francisco José 'Tati' Maldonado Collante (born 2 June 1981 in San Fernando, Cádiz, Andalusia) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward.

Club career

Maldonado, a product of Real Betis's youth system, played for the Andalusia club four seasons, making his La Liga debut on 8 February 2003 by featuring 15 minutes in a 1–4 away loss against Real Madrid.[1] He would only appear in four games in two seasons combined before moving to AD Ceuta and then Lorca Deportiva CF,[2] completing successful loan spells.[3][4]

During the summer of 2006, Betis re-signed Maldonado from Lorca for 62,000. He impressed during the summer friendlies, and was given a starting place against Valencia CF in a 1–2 away loss for the season opener, as a right winger in the absence of Joaquín.[5]

Following a promising start – with another four matches in the starting XI – that included an assist against Athletic Bilbao in a 3–0 home win,[6] Maldonado found himself out of favour with newly appointed coach Luis Fernández, and finished the campaign with 15 appearances, going scoreless in the process.[7]

In 2007–08, Maldonado was again loaned, to second division club Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[8] At the end of the season he joined promoted Sporting de Gijón, on a three-year deal;[9] on 21 December 2008 he netted his first goal for the Asturians, in a 1–0 home win over UD Almería,[10] with his team narrowly avoiding top flight relegation.

After a poor second season individually, Maldonado left for FC Cartagena in the second level.[11] He continued competing in the category in the following years with Xerez CD,[12] being relegated in 2013.
