Raúl Alberto Salinas Dorantes (born October 16, 1978) is a Mexican football defender who currently plays for Club América in the Mexican First Division.
[edit] Career
Excluding a six-month loan to UNAM Pumas in 2006, Salinas has played his entire career for Club América. Salinas made his professional debut on January 6, 2002 in a game against CF Pachuca. As a rookie, Salinas played in 20 games as his team conquered the Verano 2002 tournament. Salinas remained a regular in the América defense until an injury sidelined him during the Apertura 2003 tournament. The injury was a disheartening blow to the defender, who was never able to reclaim a regular spot in the starting lineup from there on out.
Salinas' lack of activity prompted a change of scenery prior to the Clausura 2006 season, with the defender being shipped crosstown to UNAM Pumas on a loan. After starting in the first four games, Salinas was relegated to the bench for most of the remaining part of the season; returning to América at the start of the Apertura 2006 season.
