David Cobeño Iglesias (born 6 April 1982) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Rayo Vallecano as a goalkeeper.
Football career
Born in Madrid, Cobeño graduated in the youth squads of local Rayo Vallecano. After one season with lowly SD Ponferradina he was bought by Real Madrid, spending the 2005–06 campaign in Segunda División with its B-side.
After good performances, Cobeño moved to Sevilla FC:[1] initially backing up Andrés Palop, he benefited from an injury to the first-choice during a March 2007 home win with Celta de Vigo, and went on to make four full additional appearances, adding three in the Andalusians' victorious campaign in the UEFA Cup.[2]
In 2007–08, Cobeño was loaned to neighbouring – and La Liga newcomers – UD Almería. After starting the season as the starting goalkeeper, he lost the job to Brazilian Diego Alves, only reappearing for two of the side's last three games; subsequently, he was released by Sevilla and returned to his first club Rayo Vallecano on a three-year deal, as the Madrid side returned to the second level.[3]
On 24 May 2009 Cobeño scored from his own goal, opening the score in an eventual 1–2 home loss against Elche CF.[4] During his first season in his second spell, he was the side's undisputed starter as it eventually maintained its league status, and won the Ricardo Zamora Trophy for the campaign (38 goals conceded).
In the 2010–11 season Cobeño continued as Rayo's first-choice, only missing four league matches in 42 and helping the club return to the top division after eight years.
