Football career

[edit]

Born in Almendralejo, Province of Badajoz, Extremadura, Rangel began his career with hometown club CF Extremadura. He made his only first-team – and La Liga – appearance on 13 October 1996 by playing the entirety of a 3–0 loss at Real Sociedad in a season that ended in relegation.[2]

Subsequently, Rangel played eleven consecutive seasons in Segunda División B for Real Madrid Castilla, Real Valladolid Promesas, CD Don Benito, CD Logroñés, Mérida UD, Palamós CF, UD Pájara Playas de Jandía, UE Figueres and Girona FC. With the last of those clubs, he won the third-tier title in 2007–08, playing in the 1–0 aggregate final win over AD Ceuta in the playoffs.[3]

Having lost his place with the Catalans in the Segunda División, Rangel moved in February 2010 back to the division below with CF Atlético Ciudad.[4] He moved in the summer to his birthplace's Extremadura UD,[5] and then in July 2011 to UE Llagostera,[6] concluding his career with 306 games and 10 goals in the third division.
