Football career
Born in Mieres, Asturias, Villanueva graduated from Caudal Deportivo's youth setup, and made his senior debuts while on loan at lowly Santiago de Aller CF in 1994. In 1996 he moved to Sporting de Gijón, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B, but eventually returned to his first club in the following year, in a season-long loan deal.
Villanueva moved to another reserve team in the 1998 summer, Deportivo Alavés B in Tercera División. In January of the following year he moved to SD Noja in the third level, and subsequently represented Club Marino de Luanco, playing in both third and fourth divisions.
In July 2002 Villanueva joined Segunda División's SD Eibar. He played his first match as a professional on 1 September, aged 27, playing the last two minutes in a 0–0 away home draw against Polideportivo Ejido.[1] However, after featuring rarely, he moved to Zamora CF in January of the following year.
Villanueva moved to third division's UD Vecindario in the 2005 summer, appearing regularly in his first season, which ended in promotion. He appeared sparingly in his second, and rescinded his link on 22 January 2007,[2] and subsequently joined Real Oviedo.[3]
Villanueva moved back to former club Marino de Luanco in 2010,[4] being promoted to the third level at first attempt. In August 2012 he moved to CD Lealtad, also in the fourth level.[5]
