Template:Spanish name Josep María Comadevall Crous (born 24 November 1983), known as Pitu, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Indian club FC Pune City as a central midfielder.

Football career

Born in Salt, Girona, Catalonia, Pitu emerged through local – and national – giants FC Barcelona's youth ranks,^[1] making his senior debut in the 2005–06 season with the B-team in the third division. On 20 May 2006 he played his first and only La Liga match, coming on as a substitute for Ludovic Giuly in the second half of a 1–3 loss against Athletic Bilbao at the San Mamés Stadium, as the Frank Rijkaard-led side had already been crowned league champions.^[2]

Subsequently, after one season with Barcelona neighbours Girona FC in the fourth level, Pitu signed with division two club UD Las Palmas,^[3] appearing sparingly for the Canary Islands team over the course of one-and-a-half seasons. He spent the following five years in the third tier, returning to the second in 2014 after scoring eight goals in 40 games – play-offs included – for UE Llagostera.
