Roberto Santamaría Ciprián (born 27 February 1985 in Pamplona, Navarre) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CA Osasuna as a goalkeeper.

Football career

A product of CA Osasuna's youth ranks, Santamaría was transferred to UD Las Palmas in the 2006 summer. In the Canary Islands, he spent his first two seasons with the B-side, making his debut with the first team on 23 February 2008 in a second division match against Celta de Vigo in which he saved a penalty kick, helping to a 1–0 home win.[1]

In the summer of 2009, Santamaría was loaned to Málaga CF. During the season he played as backup to also newly signed Gustavo Munúa, appearing in all of the club's four games in the Copa del Rey.

On 12 August 2010, after rescinding his Las Palmas link, Santamaría joined Girona FC in the second level, replacing Albert Jorquera who retired earlier in the summer.[2]

Personal life

Santamaría's uncle, Roberto Santamaría Calavia, was also a footballer and a goalkeeper. He too represented Osasuna and Málaga, in the 80's/90's.[3]

His brother, Mikel, was also groomed at Osasuna.
