Cayetano 'Tano' Bartolomé Bonnín Vásquez (born 30 June 1990) is a Dominican Republic footballer who plays for Spanish club Villarreal CF B as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Palma, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Bonnín played almost all of his youth football with local RCD Mallorca, his two spells with the club totalling 11 years.[1] He made his senior debuts with the reserves in the third division, finishing the 2009–10 season on loan to fellow league side Real Jaén.[2]

In the 2010 summer Bonnín signed with Real Madrid, being initially assigned to the B-team[3] but only representing the third side in the fourth level. He continued playing in the Spanish lower leagues in the following years, with Valencia CF Mestalla.[4]

In February 2013 Bonnín became an internet sensation, after clearing the ball with a bicycle kick against CE L'Hospitalet for the division three championship.[5]

International career

Born to a Dominican mother,[6] Bonnín made his international debut for the Dominican Republic national team on 24 March 2013, appearing in a 3–1 friendly win with Haiti.[7][8]
