Pablo Infante Muñoz (born 20 March 1980) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CD Mirandés as a left winger.
Football career
Born in Burgos, Castile and León, Infante played at youth level with local Real Burgos CF, Vadillos CF and Racing Lermeño.[1] His first six years as a senior were spent in amateur football.
Infante made his professional debuts in the 2005–06 season, with CD Mirandés in the fourth division, which he helped promote to the third level in his fourth year.[2] In 2011–12, his name became known in Spain[3] after the Castile and León club's performances in the season's Copa del Rey, disposing of La Liga outfits Villarreal CF and Racing de Santander, with the player scoring four of the team's six goals in those four matches,[4] and eventually being crowned the competition's top scorer; in the domestic league, he netted 13 goals in the regular season alone to help the side promote to division two for the first time ever.
On 28 June 2012, 32-year-old Infante renewed his contract with Mirandés for one further season.[5] He played his first game in the second division on 17 August, starting in a 0–1 home loss against SD Huesca.[6]
Personal
After numerous media interviews in Spain, it emerged that Infante spent years refusing offers from club in higher divisions due to his work as director of a bank branch, located 50 kilometers from Mirandés' facilities.[2]
He is a graduate in Business Administration from the University of Burgos,[7] and played his entire career in teams in the Province of Burgos.
