Club career

[edit | edit source]

Celta

[edit | edit source]

Born in Vigo, Galicia, Lago was a product of hometown RC Celta de Vigo's youth system. He made his debut with the first team in the 2007–08 season, playing 33 matches for a Segunda División side which eventually finished 17th one year after being relegated. In the following years he was an undisputed starter when available, contributing 35 games and one goal[1] in the 2011–12 campaign as the club returned to La Liga.[2][3]

Lago's maiden appearance in the top flight was on 18 August 2012, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Málaga CF.[4] He only missed four fixtures during the season, as Celta eventually stayed up at the expense of neighbouring Deportivo de La Coruña.

Getafe

[edit | edit source]

Lago joined fellow top-tier club Getafe CF on 12 June 2013, signing a four-year deal.[5] In his three-year spell at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, often marred by injury,[6][7] he appeared in 58 competitive matches.[8]

In July 2016, following the team's top-tier relegation, Lago left by triggering a release clause in his contract.

APOEL

[edit | edit source]

On 9 July 2016, at nearly 31, Lago moved abroad for the first time in his career, penning a two-year contract with reigning Cypriot champions APOEL FC.[9] He made his official debut on 10 September, playing the full 90 minutes in a 4–0 away victory over Nea Salamis Famagusta FC in the First Division.[10]
