Biography
Asier Arranz Martín (born 28 March 1987), known simply as Asier, is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Palencia Balompié as a left midfielder.
Football career
Asier was born in Cuéllar, Segovia, Castile and León. After emerging through Real Valladolid's youth ranks, he played in 16 games for the first team in the second division in the 2006–07 season, as they went on to return to La Liga after a three-year hiatus.
Subsequently, Asier served two more loan spells in the second level, appearing very little for Deportivo Alavés and Xerez CD (the latter also promoted, but the player only took the pitch on 12 occasions, one match complete). After having featured only once for Valladolid in the first half of the 2009–10 campaign, in a rare start, at RCD Mallorca – but in a 0–3 loss– he was finally released in late January 2010, returning to division two with CD Numancia by signing until the end of the season and two more.
From 2010 onwards, Asier resumed his career in the third and fourth tiers, with Pontevedra CF, CD Teruel, Sestao River Club, Gimnástica Segoviana CF, Atlético Astorga FC and CD Palencia Balompié.
