Israel Puerto Pineda (born 15 June 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Polish club Jagiellonia Białystok.

Club career[]

Born in El Viso del Alcor, Province of Seville, Andalusia, Puerto joined Sevilla FC's youth system at the age of 12. Four years later, he almost quit football due to a cardiovascular disease from which he eventually recovered fully.[1]

Puerto spent his first seasons as a senior with the reserve team, competing in Segunda División B. On 10 March 2013, he scored a brace against Arroyo CP in a 3–0 home win,[2] and, on 28 April, he made his official debut with the main squad, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for José Antonio Reyes in a 1–1 La Liga draw at Real Valladolid.[3]

On 2 July 2014, Puerto moved to another reserve side, Villarreal CF B also of the third division.[4] He made his debut with the first team on 4 December, starting in a 2–1 away win against Cádiz CF in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[5]

On 4 March 2015, Puerto was transferred to Segunda División club CD Lugo, signing a 1+1⁄2-year deal as a replacement for injured Jon García.[6][7] In his debut, three days later, he scored his first professional goal, netting his team's first in a 3–2 home victory over FC Barcelona B.[8]

Puerto then returned to the Spanish third tier, representing in quick succession Racing de Santander,[9] CD Mirandés[10] and Recreativo de Huelva. The 26-year-old moved abroad for the first time in June 2019, signing with Śląsk Wrocław of the Polish Ekstraklasa.[11]

International career[]

Puerto won his only cap for the Spanish under-21 team on 9 September 2014, playing 54 minutes in the 1–1 home draw against Austria for the 2015 UEFA European Championship qualifiers held in Puertollano.[12]
