Alejandro "Álex" Bergantiños García (born 7 June 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Deportivo de La Coruña as a defensive midfielder.
Football career
Bergantiños was born in A Coruña. He had his first professional spell as a footballer in 2008, at already 23: loaned by local Deportivo de La Coruña, he was an essential midfield figure as Xerez CD achieved a first-ever top flight promotion – 31 games, 21 starts and 2,085 minutes played.
In very late August 2009, Depor agreed to loan Bergantiños once again to the Andalusians, in another season-long move.[1] He made his La Liga debut on 30 August, playing the last 30 minutes in a 0–2 away loss against RCD Mallorca,[2] and produced roughly the same numbers than in the previous campaign as the Andalusians were immediately relegated back.
Bergantiños moved to Granada CF for 2010–11, still owned by Deportivo.[3] In January he ended his contract with the former and joined, in the same predicament, another club in the second division, Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[4]
Bergantiños returned to Galicia for the 2011–12 season, and soon became a first-team regular, appearing in all the league games and helping his team achieve promotion back to the top flight.[5] He scored his first goal in the main category of Spanish football on 20 October 2012, but in a 4–5 home loss against FC Barcelona.[6]
