Francisco José Olivas Alba (born 21 August 1988), known as Kiko, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Girona FC as a central defender.
Football career
Born in Antequera, Province of Málaga, Kiko finished his football formation at local giants Málaga CF, and appeared five times for the first team in the 2006–07 season, whilst the Andalusians were in the second division. In the following summer he signed with Villarreal CF, being one of the B-side's most important defensive members as they reached, for the first time, the country's second level.
On 30 August 2009, Kiko made his debut for the main squad, playing 90 minutes in a 1–1 La Liga draw at CA Osasuna.[1] In his second match, already in 2010, he was sent off after a late tackle on Valencia CF's David Villa – a penalty was also awarded, with the same player scoring – in a 1–4 away defeat.[2]
