Carlos González Peña (born 28 July 1983) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Oviedo as a left back.
Club career
Peña was born in Salamanca, Castile and León. An unsuccessful FC Barcelona youth graduate (he only played with its C and B-sides for five years) he went on to establish himself as a professional with Albacete Balompié in the second division, appearing in 106 official matches during three seasons.
For the 2009–10 campaign Peña stayed in the category, signing with Recreativo de Huelva for four years.[1] He continued to be first-choice at his new club but, after only one season, moved to Real Valladolid, freshly relegated from La Liga.[2]
Peña contributed with 35 games and one goal[3] in his second year, helping the Pucelanos return to the top flight after two years out. He made his debut in the main category of Spanish football on 27 August 2012, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against Levante UD.[4]
Peña scored his first goal in the top division on 11 May 2014, but also put one in his own net in a 3–4 away loss to Real Betis,[5] and Valladolid ultimately suffered relegation. On 25 June 2015 he signed a two-year deal with Real Oviedo, newly promoted to the second division.[6]
