Germán Sáenz de Miera Colmeiro (born 25 July 1990), known simply as Germán, is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD Alzira as a midfielder.
Club career[]
Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Germán was a product of CD Tenerife youth system. He made his senior debut with the B team in the third division, appearing in 17 matches as a substitute in a relegation-ending season.
Germán played his first competitive match with the main squad on 1 May 2011, featuring the last five minutes in the 2–1 away defeat against Granada CF[2] and also being relegated from the second tier at the end of the campaign.
On 25 January 2012, Germán was loaned to division three club CD Dénia – managed by former Tenerife player Nino Lema – for the rest of the season.[3] Roughly one year later, he made a similar move to CD Guijuelo,[4] as the former suffered administrative relegation.
In the 2013 off-season, Germán signed for UD Las Palmas Atlético in his native region.[5] After a career-best 11 goals in a relegation-ending season, he remained in the third division with a one-year deal that he signed at Real Murcia on 30 June 2015.[6]
Personal life[]
Germán's younger brother, Jorge, was also a footballer. He too was groomed at Tenerife.[7]
