Template:Spanish name Luis Miguel Sánchez Benítez (born 5 May 1992), commonly known as Luismi, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Valladolid as a defensive midfielder.
Club career
Born in Puerto Serrano, Cádiz, Andalusia, Luismi graduated from Sevilla FC's youth setup, making his debuts as a senior with the C-side in Tercera División. In July 2012, he signed his first professional contract, also being promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1]
On 11 November 2012, Luismi broke two bones in his skull in the dying minutes of a 1–0 home win against Real Jaén,[2] only returning to action on 31 March of the following year, against the same club.[3] On 1 February 2014, he was called up by manager Unai Emery for a La Liga match against Málaga CF, as a replacement to Cardiff City-bound Cala,[4] also being selected to the game against UD Almería on 8 March[5] but remaining on the bench on both occasions.
On 3 July 2014, Luismi penned a new two-year deal with the Andalusians,[6] being also an unused substitute in the 2014 UEFA Super Cup 0–2 loss against Real Madrid at Cardiff City Stadium on 12 August.[7] He made his first-team – and top division – debut on 23 August, replacing Vicente Iborra in the 80th minute of a 1–1 home draw against Valencia CF.[8]
On 30 July 2015, Luismi signed his first professional deal, being definitely promoted to the main squad and being assigned the number 16.[9] The jersey, worn by Antonio Puerta when he died playing for Sevilla in 2007, was only to be given to products of the club's academy from that moment onwards;[10] halfway through the campaign, however, he was stripped of the number when it was controversially handed to Argentine Federico Fazio.[11]
After turning down a deal to play for the reserves in Segunda División, Luismi signed a two-year deal at fellow league team Real Valladolid on 29 June 2016.[12]
