Carlos Menéndez Hevia (born 17 February 1987), commonly known as Carlinos, is a Spanish former footballer who played as a winger.

Club career

Born in Noreña, Asturias, Carlinos graduated from Sporting de Gijón's youth setup, and made his debut with the reserves, playing several seasons in Segunda División B and Tercera División. In summer 2010 he signed a new contract, being promoted to the main squad; initially listed for loan, he failed to join any other club and was not registered for the forthcoming campaign.^[1]

On 26 January 2011, Carlinos was loaned to Real Unión of the third division, until June.^[2] He subsequently returned to Sporting, being again assigned to the B team.

Carlinos left Sporting in June 2012^[3] and moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Super League Greece side Veria FC.^[4] He made his professional debut on 21 October, coming on as a substitute for Pantelis Kafes in a 3–0 away loss against Asteras Tripolis FC.^[5]

Having been rarely played, Carlinos subsequently returned to his homeland, joining fourth-tier Condal Club in September 2013. On 28 November, he signed a short-term deal at Tarxien Rainbows F.C. in Malta.^[6]
