Marc Bertrán Vilanova (born 22 May 1982 in La Pobla de Segur, Lleida, Catalonia) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CA Osasuna as a right defender.
Bertrán began playing football for local side La Pobla de Segur, as future FC Barcelona's Carles Puyol before him. He finished his grooming at RCD Espanyol's youth ranks, and played once for the first team in 2001–02, going on to amass a further 16 top division appearances in the next two campaigns combined. In 2004–05, he served a relegation-ending loan spell at Córdoba CF, in the second level.
Released in the 2005 summer, Bertrán split 2005–06 in the two highest division, with Cádiz CF and Lorca Deportiva CF. Subsequently, he moved to CD Tenerife, being an undisputed starter from the beginning; in his third year, he was a defensive cornerstone, as the Canary Islands' outfit returned to the top flight after seven years.
In the 2009–10 season, as Tenerife was relegated in the last matchday, Bertrán appeared in 21 matches, scoring in the penultimate round - a 2–2 home draw against UD Almería.[1] However, having started and finished the campaign in the first eleven, he also missed almost four months of action, after a dangerous challenge from Real Madrid's Royston Drenthe during a 0–3 away loss, in late-September.[2]
Bertrán was an undisputed starter for Tenerife in 2010–11, but the team suffered another relegation. In late May 2011, the 29-year old agreed on a deal with CA Osasuna, thus returning to the top division.
