Jorge Galán Anaut (born 22 January 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Unión as a forward.

Football career

Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Galán made his professional – and La Liga – debut for hometown's CA Osasuna on 23 September 2009, in a game at Real Valladolid: replacing Carlos Aranda in the 70th minute, he scored the 2–1 winner in the next.[1] During the season he appeared in a further 19 league matches, all as a substitute.

In late July 2010, a season-loan deal was arranged for Galán, as he joined Segunda División club SD Huesca. He appeared in less than one third of the league contests for the Aragonese during his spell, also failing to find the net in just 479 minutes of play.

On 12 August 2011, Galán signed for Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock on loan.[2] He made his debut as a substitute two days later, in a 4–1 home victory against Hibernian.[3]

In late January 2012, after only five official appearances for the Killie, Galán returned to his country and joined, still owned by Osasuna, Real Unión in Segunda División B.[4][5] He continued competing in the third level in the following years, representing Levante UD B and again Unión.
