Biography
César Fernández de las Heras Caneda (born 10 May 1978 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava), known simply as César, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Logroñés as a defender.
Football career
Another product of Athletic Bilbao's prolific youth system, Lezama, César could never however fully establish in the first team, only playing a maximum of ten games in two different La Liga seasons, also having appeared in the 1998–99 UEFA Champions League. He was also loaned to UD Salamanca, Sevilla FC and Racing de Santander, all in the second division (he won promotion with the latter two, being regularly used).
After his permanent release in 2005, César resumed his career in the second level, regularly appearing for SD Eibar, Cádiz CF and Deportivo Alavés but suffering two consecutive relegations, with the last two clubs.
In the 2009 summer, he joined third division side CD Guijuelo, switching to another team in that tier, CD Mirandés, for 2010–11. On 24 January 2012, the 33-year-old scored in the last minute of a 2–1 home win against RCD Espanyol for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, from a Pablo Infante indirect free kick – the competition's top scorer – as the minnows from Castile and León reached the last-four stage after a 4–4 aggregate score.
