Luis Miguel "Luismi" Cruz Hernández (born 23 May 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays mainly as a right winger for Sevilla Atlético.

Club career[]

Born in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, Andalusia, Cruz was a Sevilla FC youth graduate. On 1 November 2017, while still in the Juvenil squads, he made his senior debut with the C-team by playing the last eight minutes of a 1–4 Tercera División away loss against UB Lebrijana.[1]

Cruz first appeared with the reserves on 26 August 2018, coming on as a half-time substitute for Diego García in a 0–1 home loss against UD Ibiza in the Segunda División B.[2] On 13 December 2018, he signed his first professional contract with the Nervionenses, agreeing to a deal until 2025.[3]

In July 2019, Cruz suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury,[4] being sidelined until the following February.[5] He scored his first senior goal on 15 February 2020, netting the C's only in a 1–0 home win over CD Utrera.[6]

After being a regular starter for the B-side, Cruz made his first-team debut on 15 December 2021, replacing Joan Jordán in the second half of a 1–1 away draw against CE Andratx, in the season's Copa del Rey; he also converted Sevilla's fourth penalty in the 6–5 shoot-out win.[7][8] His professional – and La Liga – debut occurred the following 22 January, as he again replaced Jordán in a 2–2 home draw against RC Celta de Vigo.[9]

International career[]

After representing Spain at under-16 level in 2017,[10] Cruz was called up to the under-20s in July 2019,[11] but had to withdraw due to injury.
