Ángel Trujillo Canorea (born 8 September 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Almería as a central defender.

Football career

Born in San Fernando de Henares, Madrid,[1] Trujillo started playing as a senior with CD Guadalajara in Tercera División, moving in early 2007 to the regional leagues with CD Azuqueca. In the summer he returned to the fourth level, signing with UD Almería's reserves.

On 18 March 2012 Trujillo made his first-team debut with the Andalusians, playing the first half of a 1–1 Segunda División away draw against Real Valladolid.[2] On 27 May he played his second game for the main squad and in the category, against former side Guadalajara.[3]

In June 2012, it was announced that Trujillo would be promoted to Almería's first team for the 2012–13 season.[4] Despite missing the start of the campaign he was handed a start on 8 September in a 0–3 away defeat against CE Sabadell FC,[5] but soon established himself as a regular due to Hernán Pellerano's legal problems, and contributed with 31 matches as his team obtained promotion in the play-offs.

On 12 July 2013 Trujillo renewed his link with Almería, signing until 2017.[6] He made his La Liga debut on 19 August, starting in a 2–3 home loss to Villarreal CF.[7]

Trujillo scored his first goal as a professional on 2 March 2014, netting from a corner kick but in a 1–4 defeat at FC Barcelona.[8]
