Israel Puerto Pineda (born 15 June 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Saudi First Division League club Al-Jabalain.
Club career[edit]
Born in El Viso del Alcor, Province of Seville, Andalusia, Puerto joined Sevilla FC's youth system at the age of 12. Four years later, he almost quit football due to a cardiovascular disease from which he eventually recovered fully.[2]
Puerto spent his first seasons as a senior with the reserve team, competing in the Segunda División B. On 10 March 2013, he scored a brace against Arroyo CP in a 3–0 home win,[3] and, on 28 April, he made his official debut with the main squad, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for José Antonio Reyes in the 1–1 La Liga draw at Real Valladolid.[4]
On 2 July 2014, Puerto moved to another reserve side, Villarreal CF B also of the third division.[5] He made his debut with the first team on 4 December, starting a 2–1 away victory over Cádiz CF in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[6]
On 4 March 2015, Puerto was transferred to Segunda División club CD Lugo, signing a 1+1⁄2-year deal as a replacement for injured Jon García.[7][8] In his debut, three days later, he scored his first professional goal, netting his team's first in the 3–2 home win over FC Barcelona B.[9]
Puerto then returned to the Spanish third tier, representing in quick succession Racing de Santander,[10] CD Mirandés[11] and Recreativo de Huelva. The 26-year-old moved abroad for the first time in June 2019, signing with Śląsk Wrocław of the Polish Ekstraklasa.[12] He scored his first top-flight goal on 28 June 2020, equalising an eventual 2–2 home draw with Lech Poznań.[13]
Puerto continued competing abroad the following seasons, with Jagiellonia Białystok (Polish top division)[14] and Al-Jabalain FC (Saudi First Division League).[15]
International career[edit]
Puerto won his only cap for the Spain under-21 team on 9 September 2014, playing 54 minutes in the 1–1 home draw against Austria for the 2015 UEFA European Championship qualifiers held in Puertollano.[16]
