Germán Sáenz de Miera Colmeiro (born 25 July 1990), known simply as Germán, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Murcia as a midfielder.
Football career
Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Germán was a product of CD Tenerife youth system. He made his senior debuts with the B-team in the third division, appearing in 17 games as a substitute in a relegation-ending season.
On 1 May 2011, Germán played his first official match with the main squad, featuring the last five minutes in the 1–2 away defeat against Granada CF[1] and also being relegated from the second level at the end of the campaign.
On 25 January 2012, Germán was loaned to division three club CD Dénia – managed by former Tenerife player Nino Lema – for the rest of the season;[2] Roughly one year later he made a similar move to CD Guijuelo,[3] as the former suffered administrative relegation.
In the 2013 off-season, Germán signed for UD Las Palmas Atlético in his native region.[4] After a career-best 11 goals in a relegation-ending season, he remained in the third tier with a one-year deal that he signed at Real Murcia CF on 30 June 2015.[5]
Personal life
Germán's younger brother, Jorge, is also a footballer. He too was groomed at Tenerife.[6]
