Juan Esnáider Ruiz (born 31 January 1992) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Finnish club Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat as a forward.
Club career[]
Born in Madrid, Esnáider graduated from Villarreal CF's youth system, and made his senior debut with the C team in 2011, in Tercera División. On 9 January 2012, he signed with CF Rayo Majadahonda of the same level.[1]
Esnáider joined amateurs Las Rozas CF in the summer of 2012 and, in July of the following year, he moved to Real Zaragoza's reserves.[2] He appeared in his first game as a professional on 9 March 2014, coming on as a late substitute for Luis García in a 1–1 home draw against RCD Mallorca for the Segunda División championship.[3] He scored his first goal in the competition seven days later, but in a 4–2 loss at SD Ponferradina.[4]
On 1 September 2014, Esnáider terminated his contract with the Aragonese club[5] and signed for neighbouring SD Huesca hours later.[6] On 3 August 2015, after achieving promotion to the second tier, he moved to CD Toledo.[7]
After a career-best 12 goals in his one season, in June 2016 Esnáider moved abroad for the first time to FC Lausanne-Sport of the Swiss Super League.[8] He made his debut on 16 September in the last 32 of the national cup, scoring in a 3–1 away defeat to FC Köniz.[9] His sole other appearance was his top-flight debut on 2 October late into a 4–1 home win over AC Lugano.[10]
Esnáider subsequently returned to Spain's third tier from July 2017, with Mérida AD,[11] CD Tudelano[12] and CDA Navalcarnero. On 17 January 2021, he scored twice in a 3–1 home victory against La Liga club SD Eibar in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[13]
Personal life[]
Esnáider's father, also named Juan, was also a footballer and a forward. He too represented Zaragoza, and was a full international for Argentina.[14] His younger brother Fernando died aged 17 in 2012, from a terminal illness.[15]
The family surname, originally spelled Schneider, came from Volga German ancestors.[16]
