Raúl Fuster Arnao (born 23 July 1985) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a left-back.
He played 118 matches in the Segunda División over six seasons, in representation of three clubs.
Club career
[edit]Born in Elche, Province of Alicante, Fuster made his senior debut with hometown's Elche CF's reserves, in the Tercera División. After a loan to Valencian Community neighbours Villajoyosa CF he was promoted to the first team in 2007, quickly becoming a very important defensive unit.
After contributing 27 games to Elche's sixth place in 2009–10, Fuster signed with another Segunda División side, Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[1] After two seasons with them, suffering relegation in his second and during which he scored his only goal as a professional in a 4–2 away loss against Córdoba CF,[2] he was released.[3]
In the summer of 2012, Fuster joined fellow second-tier CD Lugo.[4] In the following transfer window he switched to Segunda División B where he would spend the next six years, with UD Salamanca, Lleida Esportiu,[5] SD Ponferradina,[6] UE Llagostera and Ontinyent CF.[7]
On 28 March 2019, after the club's dissolution, Fuster left Ontinyent.[8] The following month, he joined amateurs CF Intercity.[9]
Fuster announced his retirement in August 2019, aged 34.[10]
