Maikel Mesa Piñero (born 4 June 1991), known simply as Maikel, is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD Las Palmas as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Maikel finished his formation with hometown's CD Tenerife. He made his senior debuts with neighbouring CD Laguna in the 2010–11 season, in Tercera División.

In July 2012, Maikel signed a two-year contract with CA Osasuna, initially being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1] On 1 June 2013, he made his La Liga debut, coming on as a substitute for Francisco Silva in the 78th minute of a 2–4 away loss against Real Madrid.[2]

On 30 January 2015, Maikel was loaned to third level club Racing de Ferrol until June.[3] After his loan expired, he was included in the main squad and began to appear more regularly; he scored his first goal as a professional on 24 January 2016, netting the last in a 3–0 home win over UE Llagostera.[4]

On 21 June 2016, three days after achieving promotion to the top flight, Maikel was released[5] and joined CD Mirandés on 13 July.[6] On 29 June 2017, after suffering relegation, he signed a two-year deal with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the second tier.[7]

On 17 August 2018, Mesa was transferred to UD Las Palmas back in his native region, agreeing to a four-year contract.[8]
