Club career

Born in Madrid, Roberto only made his debut in professional football in the 2008–09 season, aged 28, at the service of SD Huesca in Segunda División. In the previous campaign, he had scored a career-best 20 goals (plus two in the playoffs and one in the Copa del Rey) to help the club promote from Segunda División B for the first time ever.[1]

Roberto played his first game in the second level of Spanish football on 31 August 2008, and scored in a 2–2 home draw against CD Castellón.[2] He went on to amass second-tier totals of 141 matches and 32 goals, for Huesca and Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[3]

In 2012, at the age of 32, Roberto moved abroad for the first time, going on to spend several years in the Cypriot First Division.[4]
