Oriol Lozano Farrán, simply known as Oriol (born 23 May 1981), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Racing de Santander usually as a central defender.
Football career
Born in Sudanell, Lleida, Catalonia, Oriol played during his early career with UE Lleida, CD Onda (in the fourth division, loaned by Villarreal CF who acted as Onda's parent club) and CE L'Hospitalet. In the 2004–05 season he was promoted from Racing de Santander's B-team, making his La Liga debut on 19 September 2004 in a 1–1 home draw against Villarreal.
Oriol went on to become a relatively important defensive element for the Cantabrians in the subsequent four seasons, playing in a total of 75 games and starting 55. On 17 March 2007 he scored his only official goal for the club, in a 2–0 away win against Valencia CF.[1]
Oriol appeared in 19 matches in the 2009–10 campaign as Racing once again narrowly avoided relegation after finishing 16th – he was sent off twice, one of them in the last minute of the side's 1–0 success at Sporting de Gijón.[2] In June 2010, the 29-year-old did not see his contract renewed and moved to Greece with Aris Thessaloniki FC.[3]
