Francisco David Sousa Franquelo (born 3 February 1980 in Málaga, Andalusia) is a Spanish footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.
A youth graduate from Real Madrid who never made it past the B side, Sousa played his first La Liga game for Real Valladolid (on loan from Madrid), on 31 August 2002, in a 1–0 win at Racing de Santander.
After another season with Valladolid (which now held the totality of the player's rights), which ended in relegation, he would play two further seasons in the second division, subsequently joining Getafe CF, a team from the capital outskirts, for 2006–07's top flight.
During two 1/2 seasons, Sousa appeared sparingly for Getafe, netting twice in a 2–4 away loss against RCD Mallorca, on 7 October 2007. He featured in no games whatsoever in the first part of 2008–09, which led to a January 2009 loan to Rayo Vallecano in the second level.
In late July 2009, Sousa was released by Getafe, and continued in division two, joining Albacete Balompié, and being relegated in his second season.
