During a 17-year professional career he appeared in seven La Liga seasons for a total of 127 games, with Racing de Santander (six years) and Sporting de Gijón (one).

Football career

Neru was born in Laredo, Cantabria. A product of hometown club Racing de Santander's youth system, he first appeared with the main squad during the 1998–99 season, already aged 24. During the following years (which included a second division stint), he would be played in various defensive positions.

In 2004–05, Neru was loaned to Segunda División side Sporting de Gijón, being an undisputed first-choice throughout the campaign and scoring a rare goal on 1 May 2005, in a 3–2 home win against Pontevedra CF. [1] He returned to Santander for a further 15 La Liga games, in 2005–06.

After becoming a free agent in January 2007 and an uneventful six-month stint with another second level team, Cádiz CF, [2] Neru rejoined Gijón in the ensuing summer, [3] playing only four matches during the season as the Asturians returned to the top flight after a 10-year hiatus. [4] In August 2009 the 35-year-old joined Deportivo Alavés, now in division three. [5] However, after a run-in with the board of directors, [6] he became surplus to requirements. As a result he was free, in late January 2010, to move up a tier signing with SD Huesca until the end of the season. There he replaced Daniel Mustafá, who had been released. [7] The following season, 2010–2011 he moved to Pontevedra CF, [8] from which he retired. [9]

In the 2012–2013 season Neru coached for Santoña CF. [10] The following year he was signed on as assistant coach under Claudio Arzeno by the SD Noja. [10] He went on to coach for SD Gama [11] and CD Bezana. [12]

Personal life

In 2011, Neru ran for office in the municipality of Laredo on the People's Party ticket. [13] He lost. [9]
