Javier Camunas Gallego (born 17 July 1980) is a Spanish retired professional footballer . A versatile midfielder (able to play as an attacking midfielder or in the wings ), he could also appear as a second striker .

He amassed La Liga totals of 205 games and 24 goals over the course of eight seasons, representing in the competition Rayo Vallecano , Recreativo , Osasuna , Villarreal and Deportivo . He added 155 matches and 27 goals in the Segunda Division , mainly with Xerez .

Club career [ edit ]

After starting out at modest and local club CA Pinto , Madrid -born Camunas switched to neighbours Rayo Vallecano , first representing its reserves . He was then loaned to another team from the capital, Getafe CF (by that time in the Segunda Division B ).

Camunas returned to Rayo in the 2002?03 season , making his La Liga debut on 1 September 2002 in a 2?2 home draw against Deportivo Alaves . [1] Rayo finished the campaign last and he went on to have four steady years in the Segunda Division , with Ciudad de Murcia and Xerez CD , totalling 18 league goals in his final two.

Having been acquired by top-flight Recreativo de Huelva for 2007?08 , [2] Camunas was one of the Andalusians ' most important players as they barely avoided relegation. He played all the matches save one ? 28 of those complete ? and netted on five occasions. [3]

In the following season , Camunas scored even more (ten), but Recre finished last. [3] In late August 2009, he signed a three-year contract with top-tier club CA Osasuna . [4] an everpresent figure in his first year , he netted his first goal on 24 January 2010, against former side Xerez (2?1 away victory). [5]

Camunas was again first choice for Osasuna in 2010?11 . On 30 January 2011 he scored the game's only goal in a home defeat of Real Madrid , which he had represented as a youth. [6] [7]

On 19 July 2011, Camunas signed with Villarreal CF for three years. [8] He struggled to gain playing time in his first season , also suffering physical problems. [9] [10] On 5 February 2012 he scored his first official goal for the Yellow Submarine , the last in a 2?1 win at Sevilla FC for the team's first away of the campaign, [11] which eventually ended in relegation after 12 years. [12]

Camunas agreed to a one-year loan at Deportivo de La Coruna of the same league in August 2012. [13] He met the same fate at the end of his only season , [14] netting in the 2?1 away loss against Osasuna on 20 January 2013. [15]
