Template:Spanish name 2 Sergio León Limones (born 6 January 1989) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CA Osasuna as a forward.

Formed at Betis where he was mainly a reserve, he played more frequently at Reus before being signed by Elche in 2013.

Football career

Betis / Reus

Born in Palma del Río, Córdoba, León joined Real Betis' youth ranks at the age of 15 and made his debut for the first team on 27 March 2010, playing 26 minutes in place of Juanma in a 0–1 loss against Girona FC at the Manuel Ruiz de Lopera.[1] It would be his only appearance of the campaign, as the Verdiblancos failed to regain their La Liga status.

In the 2011 January transfer window, after featuring rarely also for the reserves over the course of 1½ seasons,[2] León left Betis and signed for CF Reus Deportiu in the fourth division.[3] He scored five goals in 14 games until the end of the season, helping the Catalans return to the third level after a five-year absence.[4][5]

León netted 18 times during 2012–13's division three, including a hat-trick on 17 February 2013 in a 3–2 home win over Ontinyent CF.[6]

Elche

In the summer of 2013, León joined Elche CF on a four-year deal, being assigned to their reserves and then loaned to Real Murcia.[7] After only three competitive appearances for the latter he was recalled by his parent club, continuing to feature and score regularly for the B's.

On 12 July 2014, León was again loaned to a second tier club, UE Llagostera, for the upcoming season.[8] In the second matchday, he scored his first professional goal to open a 2–0 win over CD Leganés at home for the team's first professional win;[9] he eventually finished as team top scorer for the Province of Girona side, who finished ninth.

León subsequently returned to Elche, and was promoted to the first team which had suffered top flight relegation for financial reasons. He made his competitive debut for the Valencians on 23 August 2015 by playing the full 90 minutes as they opened their campaign with a 0–2 loss at SD Ponferradina, and a week later scored his first goal to win a match 2–1 against Bilbao Athletic at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero;[10] he was the Segunda División Player of the Month in September 2015, having contributed three goals and an assist,[11] and eventually won the Pichichi Trophy for top scorer, netting his 22nd from the penalty spot in the final game against AD Alcorcón to overtake Córdoba CF's Florin Andone.[12]

Osasuna

On 24 August 2016, León signed a four-year contract with CA Osasuna for an undisclosed fee.[13] He made his debut in the top division three days later, replacing Oriol Riera in a 0–2 home loss against Real Sociedad.[14]
