Miguel Zabaco Tomé (born 6 February 1989), commonly known as Míchel, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, on loan from UD Almería, as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Burgos, Castile and León, Míchel graduated with Atlético Madrid's youth setup, and made his debuts as a senior with the C-team in the 2008–09 campaign, in Tercera División. In the 2010 summer he was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.

On 31 July 2012 Míchel joined another reserve team, UD Almería B in the third division.[1] On 8 June 2014 he renewed with the Andalusians for three years, being promoted to the main squad at the start of the 2015–16 season.[2]

Míchel was also named captain of the B-side in the 2014 summer, after the departure of Cristóbal to Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[3] On 9 September 2015 – already included in the first team – he made his professional debut, starting and being sent off in a 3–3 Copa del Rey home draw against Elche CF (4–3 win on penalties).[4]

Míchel made his Segunda División debut on 1 November 2015, starting as a left back in a 1–1 home draw against Real Valladolid.[5] On 30 January of the following year, after appearing sparingly, he was loaned to Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa in the third tier, until June.[6]
