Óscar Sielva Moreno (born 6 August 1991) is a Spanish footballer who plays for UE Olot as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Olot, Girona, Catalonia, Sielva was a product of local RCD Espanyol's youth system. He made his first-team (and La Liga) debut on 30 August 2008, at the age of 17 years and 24 days, during the season opener against Real Valladolid, coming on as a substitute for Iván de la Peña in the closing stages of the game and being booked in a 1–0 home win;[1] He appeared in four more matches in that first campaign, before fracturing his clavicle twice.[2]

In late August 2009 Sielva was loaned to FC Cartagena, freshly promoted to the second division.[3] He appeared in only one sixth of the league games during the season, often clashing with manager Juan Ignacio Martínez who wanted to play him out of position as a winger;[4] he returned to Espanyol in January 2010.

Deemed surplus to requirements at his parent club,[2] Sielva was also only reinstated with the reserves in January 2011. On 14 November he joined Málaga CF's B-team, in a mutual agreement between both clubs.[5]

At the end of 2012–13, Sielva was released by Málaga. He subsequently underwent trials at FC Barcelona B, Girona FC[6] and Swansea City,[7][8] with no success.

On 17 June 2014, after one year out of football, Sielva signed for UE Olot in the third level.[9]

International career

Sielva was a regular for the Spanish under-17 side, playing a vital role in its triumph during the 2008 UEFA European Championship held in Turkey.
