Jandro (footballer)

Alejandro Castro Fernández (born 27 February 1979 in Mieres, Asturias), known as Jandro, is a Spanish footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.

A product of Valencia CF's youth system, Jandro played three times for the first team in a three-year span (with a stint at CD Numancia in between, where he did not appear. Subsequently, he had another La Liga spell with Celta de Vigo, also playing sparingly during two seasons and being loaned in between.

After helping Celta regain its top flight status in 2005, scoring 12 league goals, Jandro moved to Deportivo Alavés also in the top division, being immediately relegated. In the 2007 summer he signed with Gimnàstic de Tarragona and, after two second level seasons with the Catalans, as first-choice, continued in the category as he signed with Elche CF on a two-year contract.

On 11 March 2010, after appearing rarely for the club – but netting three times – Jandro was released by mutual consent. In late July he signed with another club in division two, Girona FC, and scored 11 goals while playing in all 42 games (38 starts, nearly 3,500 minutes of action) in his first season, with his team eventually ranking 11th.

On 25 August 2012, Jandro was named Man of the match as Girona won 5–1 away against CD Guadalajara, netting once and providing two assists.
