Club career

Born in Avilés, Asturias, Lombán finished his development at Valencia CF's youth system, and made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2006–07 season, in Segunda División B. On 15 December 2007 he appeared in his first official game with the main squad, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–3 La Liga home loss against FC Barcelona;[1] in October of the following year, he suffered a knee injury which kept him sidelined for six months.[2]

On 2 July 2009, Lombán joined Segunda División side UD Salamanca in a season-long loan deal.[3] One year later, the free agent moved to fellow league club Xerez CD.[4]

On 11 July 2012, Lombán signed for FC Barcelona B also in the second level.[5] On 8 July of the following year he terminated his contract with the Catalans and moved to Elche CF, recently promoted to the top flight.[6]

On 10 August 2015, after his team suffered administrative relegation, Lombán joined Granada CF also of the top tier after agreeing to a three-year deal.[7] After again dropping down a division in 2017, he signed a one-year contract with SD Eibar on 2 September of that year.[8]

gollark: I've profiled it now, and it doesn't turn up much. I think it's just the lack of async.
gollark: Because poor design a long-running search manages to block the crawler too!
gollark: Apparently even without <@!319753218592866315>'s DoS attack, it still takes an entire 3 seconds to search for all quite a lot of pages with "test" in them.
gollark: Probably should do profiling first.
