Manuel Gaspar Haro, aka Manolo (born 3 February 1981), is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Cartagena in Segunda División, as a right defender.
His main asset is a long throw-in delivery.
Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Manolo started playing professionally in hometown Málaga CF's B team, then spent two Segunda División seasons with another outfit in the region, UD Almería, being named 2005–06's best right-back.
In 2006–07, upon Levante UD's return to the top flight, Manolo signed with the Valencian Community side, appearingly scarcely throughout two seasons, and facing relegation in his second, with the club immerse in a precarious financial situation.
In July 2008, Manolo returned to Málaga. Pretty much absent of the lineups during the most part of the season, he was heavily used in the final months. In 2009–10, he again appeared regularly, mainly due to injuries of other defenders. However, on 3 April 2010, it was announced that the player would miss the rest of the campaign because of an inflamed appendix, which was successfully operated and removed.[1]
Manolo continued to be used exclusively as a backup in 2010–11, by both Jesualdo Ferreira and his successor Manuel Pellegrini. In mid-June 2011, aged 30, he left Málaga and returned to the second division, signing for FC Cartagena.
