Pedro Santa Cecilia García (born 10 March 1984 in Gijón, Asturias), simply Pedro, is a Spanish footballer who plays for R. Charleroi S.C. in Belgium, as a midfielder.

Football career

Pedro made his professional debut with hometown's Sporting de Gijón on 12 February 2006, in a 0–0 away draw against Recreativo de Huelva. He went on to become an important midfield element in the subsequent seasons, appearing in 37 matches in 2007–08 as Sporting returned to La Liga after a 10-year hiatus.

Pedro first appeared in the top level on 31 August 2008, in a 1–2 home loss to Getafe CF. During the season, he appeared in 17 matches, almost always as a substitute, and played almost no part in 2009–10 as the Asturians again managed to maintain its top division status, being released in June 2010.

On 6 September 2010, Pedro signed a one-year contract with Albacete Balompié in the second division, being released four months after. In August of the following year, he moved abroad and penned a two-year deal with R. Charleroi SC, in the Belgian Second Division.
