Iago Iglesias Castro (born 23 February 1984 in A Coruña, Galicia), known simply as Iago, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Bought by hometown's Deportivo de La Coruña from amateurs Atlético Arteixo in 2005, Iago spent two seasons alternating between the first and the second teams, without ever establishing himself in the former. He made his debut in La Liga on 20 October 2005, playing the second half of a 0–1 home loss against CA Osasuna.

For the 2007–08 campaign Iago was loaned to second division side Elche CF, also being used rarely. In that summer, he was released by Depor and joined Valencia CF Mestalla.

After leaving Valencia's reserves, Iago kept fit training with first club Laracha CF, joining another team in the third level shortly after, Montañeros CF, also in the A Coruña region.

International career

In May 2006, Iago was called up for a Spanish under-21 side match against Denmark, only a few months after making his professional debuts with Deportivo. He gained his only cap by coming on as a second-half substitute in the 0–2 loss in Brøndby, on the 17th.
