Pablo Couñago

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pablo González Couñago (born August 9, 1979 in Pontevedra in Spain) is a Spanish footballer, and plays as a forward for Málaga CF following his transfer from Ipswich Town in August 2005.

Prior to that he had played for CD Numancia (August 1998 to December 1998), Celta de Vigo (Dec 1998 to May 1999 and July 2000 to July 2001) and Recreativo de Huelva (August 1999 to May 2000).

A regular Spanish Under-21 international from 1999 to 2001, his potential was highlighted in February 2001 when he scored twice in a 4 - 0 rout of the England Under 21s. The match was watched by George Burley, who was then Ipswich Town manager. This prompted him to sign Couñago, who was out of contract, agreeing a four year deal with the player.
