César Martín Villar (born April 3, 1977 in Oviedo) is a Spanish footballer who currently plays central defender for Hércules CF.[1]
César started his professional career in 1994 playing for Real Oviedo. From there he moved to Deportivo de La Coruña for approximately €7.4 million.[2]At Deportivo he won one league title, the Spanish Cup and the Supercup.
César fell out of favour when Joaquín Caparrós took over as manager of Deportivo, and because of this, and consistent injury troubles, he moved to Levante UD on the 18th of July, 2006. Things did not improve at Levante where he only appeared three times, getting sent off in one game. On the 31st of January 2007 he cancelled his contract with Levante by mutual consent.
César joined Bolton Wanderers F.C. on a short-term contract until the end of the season in February 2007.[3] He made his Premier League debut as a substitute on 28 April, against Chelsea.
On May 18, 2007, it was revealed that César would leave Bolton Wanderers F.C. after the manager decided not to extend his current contract.[4]He joined Segunda División's Hércules CF.
For Spain he was in the UEFA European Football Championship squad in 2004, but did not play. Despite showing early promise his international career never fully took off, mostly because of injury troubles and the emergence of players like Carles Puyol and Pablo Ibañez.
