Club career

Born in Almassora, Province of Castellón, Tena joined up-and-coming Villarreal CF in 2003 from neighbouring Valencia CF, after finishing his football development with the latter and following a failed transfer to Real Madrid Castilla.[1] He made his professional – and La Liga – debut in the 2003–04 season, but would only appear in one league match with his new club, being replaced at the hour-mark of a 1–2 away loss against CA Osasuna.[2]

Subsequently, Tena resumed his career in the second division, with Racing de Ferrol, Polideportivo Ejido (three years), Levante UD, Elche CF, Córdoba CF and CD Lugo, playing 242 games at that level over one full decade.

gollark: Bad code is bad code but PHP encourages bad code.
gollark: Or at least kind of is. I think it's partly the cause at least.
gollark: PHP is the reason DC suffers horrible bugs constantly and hatcheries are kind of bad in some ways.
gollark: To be fair, though, JS frameworks are mostly client-side and PHP is server-side. That doesn't excuse the evil of PHP generally though.
gollark: That's horrible.
