Carlos Lázaro Vallejo (born 13 November 1990) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Valladolid as a midfielder.

Club career

Although born in Medina del Campo, Lázaro grew up in Olmedo (also located in Valladolid), where he began to play football. Aged 12, he joined Real Valladolid's youth system[1] and played his first seasons with the reserve team, suffering relegation to the fourth division in his first year.

First-team coach José Luis Mendilibar gave Lázaro his first chance to appear in La Liga, in one of his last matches before being sacked: on 17 January 2010, he played the full 90 minutes at Racing de Santander, in a final 1–1 draw. After appearing in six of the following seven matches - three starts, but five defeats - under new manager Onésimo Sánchez, he suffered a serious injury and could not help prevent the Castile and León from being relegated, after a 0–4 loss at FC Barcelona.

For the 2010–11 season, Lázaro was definitely promoted to Valladolid's first team, but made no official appearances whatsoever during the campaign.
