Juan Manuel Marrero Monzón (born 18 October 1982), known as Juanma, is a Spanish professional footballer. On the left side, he can either operate as a defender or a midfielder.[1]
He played 285 Segunda División games for Las Palmas, Rayo Vallecano, Huesca, Numancia and Fuenlabrada, scoring 27 times. He added 155 matches and 17 goals in the Segunda División B with Las Palmas, Oviedo and Fuenlabrada.
Club career
[edit]Las Palmas
[edit]Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Juanma moved from UD Vecindario to UD Las Palmas, where he made his professional debut in the Segunda División on 6 September 2003, starting in a 2–2 home draw against CD Leganés.[2] After two years in the Segunda División B, he scored his first goal in the second tier on 26 September 2006, a first-half penalty in a game of the same result also at the Estadio Gran Canaria.[3]
Rayo Vallecano
[edit]Juanma signed a two-year contract with Rayo Vallecano in July 2008.[4] Barely used in his time in the outskirts of Madrid, he was loaned a year later to SD Huesca also in the second division.[5]
Oviedo and Numancia
[edit]On 25 August 2010, free agent Juanma joined Real Oviedo.[6] After two seasons in division three, neither ending in a playoff place, he returned up a level at CD Numancia.[7] Used regularly by Pablo Machín and Juan Antonio Anquela, he signed a new two-year deal with the option of a third in October 2015.[8]
Fuenlabrada
[edit]In July 2016, having rescinded his contract when his opportunities in Soria decreased, Juanma dropped back down to Segunda B to represent CF Fuenlabrada.[9] Having achieved promotion to the second tier via the playoffs for the first time – as champions and at the third time of asking – the 36-year-old captain renewed for one more season with the possibility of another in June 2019.[10]
Still a regular player for Fuenla, Juanma agreed to a one-year extension in July 2021.[11]
