Roberto Matute Puras (born 26 August 1972) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a forward.
Football career
Born in San Asensio, La Rioja, Matute made his professional debuts with local club CD Logroñés, but could never impose in its first team: after only seven La Liga matches in his first two years combined, he appeared relatively more, experiencing both one promotion and relegation.
Aged 24, Matute moved to neighbouring Portugal where he would spend the next three seasons, with G.D. Chaves (two) and C.F. Os Belenenses, helping the latter return to the country's Primeira Liga with eight goals. In 1999 he signed with Dundee F.C. in the Scottish Premier League, but returned to his country after only two months – with one start and one goal against Hibernian to his credit[1]– joining Segunda División B side Burgos CF.
For the following five seasons, Matute continued playing in division three, with UDA Gramenet and local CD Recreación (named in 2005 Logroñés CF, where the player appeared in his final season, retiring at 34).
