Fernando Usero Toledano (born 27 March 1984) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central midfielder.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Usero was born in Brazatortas, Province of Ciudad Real, Castilla–La Mancha.[2] After emerging through Málaga CF's youth system, and a brief spell at Atlético Madrid's reserves, he returned to the Andalusians, playing two seasons with their B team in the Segunda División and scoring a career-best seven goals in 2005–06.[3] Additionally, he managed to appear four times for the main squad in the same timeframe,[4] as both were relegated come June 2006;[5] his La Liga debut came on 9 January 2005, in a 2–1 away loss against Racing de Santander.[6]
Usero then spent two years at Málaga neighbours Polideportivo Ejido, being an undisputed starter[7][8] and suffering relegation at the end of the 2007–08 campaign,[9] following which he signed for another club in the second division, Elche CF.[10] In summer 2011, having totalled 247 matches in Spain's second tier, he moved abroad for the first time and joined a host of compatriots at Asteras Tripolis F.C. in Greece, arriving from Córdoba CF.[11][12]
On 19 June 2015, after a four-month loan with AD Alcorcón back in his homeland, Usero returned to the Super League Greece and signed a two-year contract with Atromitos FC.[13] He went back to Spain afterwards, seeing out his career aged 35 by representing CD Mirandés (second division),[14] CD Toledo (Segunda División B)[2] and amateurs Calvo Sotelo Puertollano.[15]
