Club career

[edit]

Born in Zarandona, Region of Murcia, Alcántara signed with Villarreal CF in 2004, spending the vast majority of his spell with the reserves and appearing in five La Liga games over the course of two seasons. His debut came on 17 October 2004, when he featured the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against RCD Mallorca.[1]

Subsequently, Alcántara joined Deportivo de La Coruña, never appearing officially during his two-year stint and being loaned to two clubs in the Segunda División B, for which he also played sparingly.[2][3] In the 2008–09 campaign, he represented another side at that level, CF Atlético Ciudad.[4]

After a spell in Hungary with Ferencvárosi TC, Alcántara returned to his country and joined Alicante CF also in division three. He continued to compete in that tier the following years, representing CD Leganés,[5] CD Alcoyano, SD Logroñés,[6] La Hoya Lorca CF,[7] CD Eldense and La Roda CF.[8]
