Miguel Martínez de Corta (born 25 November 1981), known simply as Miguel, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

[edit]

Miguel was born in Logroño, La Rioja. An unsuccessful youth graduate at FC Barcelona, he moved to Real Zaragoza in 2001 but did not make an impact with the first team, only playing four games – all during 2002–03's Segunda División – and conceding five goals as they returned to La Liga after a one-year absence.

After loan spells with Zamora CF and UE Lleida, Miguel was released by Zaragoza and joined SD Huesca, newly promoted to the second division. At the Aragonese neighbours, he also struggled to start.[1][2]

In mid-July 2010, Miguel signed with division two club Albacete Balompié, as another player in the position, Jesús Cabrero, moved in the opposite direction. In his first season, he was back-up to Keylor Navas as the Manchegans were relegated.[3]

In June 2012, after Albacete failed to gain promotion via the play-offs, Miguel signed for fellow Segunda División B side Deportivo Alavés[4] who were eventually crowned champions, though he missed much of the season with a knee injury.[5] He chose to remain in that tier with his hometown club UD Logroñés.[6]

Miguel remained in the third division subsequently, with SD Ejea[7] and CD Calahorra, returning to the latter 20 years after leaving.[8]
