Luis Manuel Villa López (born 11 August 1989), commonly known as Luisma, is a Spanish footballer who plays for English club Barnet as a midfielder.
Football career
Born in Noja, Cantabria, Luisma came through the youth system at Racing de Santander. He was mainly registered with the B-team during his three-year spell with the club, appearing in three La Liga matches as a substitute in three different seasons; his debut in the competition came on 1 September 2007, when he played five minutes after replacing Gonzalo Colsa in a 1–1 away draw against Real Zaragoza.[1][2][3]
Released in 2010 Luisma took his game to Segunda División B, where he represented, in quick succession, Real Unión,[4] Deportivo Alavés,[5] SD Amorebieta[6] and SD Noja. He reached the promotion playoffs to Segunda División with the first and third clubs, but consecutively fell short.
In late July 2013 Luisma went on trial at Barnet in the Conference Premier, alongside compatriot Roberto Casabella.[7] Both players had their signings confirmed on 3 August.[8]
Luisma's first goal for Barnet came on 2 November 2013, when he scored the game's only in a home win over Kidderminster Harriers and was also later sent off for two bookable offences.[9]
