He spent most of his career with Valladolid, playing 163 competitive matches mostly in the Segunda División.
Club career
[edit]Valladolid
[edit]Born in Corte de Peleas, Province of Badajoz, Extremadura, Rueda played youth football with Real Valladolid.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserve team, spending four full seasons with the side in the Segunda División B; on 12 November 2008 he made his first official appearance with the main squad, featuring 34 minutes in a 2–2 draw against Hércules CF in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey,[3] and his first La Liga match was on the following 26 April, also at the Estadio Nuevo José Zorrilla, a 0–0 draw with CA Osasuna in which he came on as a late substitute.[4]
After spending the 2009–10 campaign on loan to Córdoba CF of Segunda División,[5] Rueda returned to Valladolid which were now in the same level. He totalled 3,867 minutes of action in the second year in his second spell – playoffs included – scoring in the 1–1 draw at Recreativo de Huelva on 15 October 2011 as the Castile and León side went on to return to the top flight.[6]
Later career
[edit]On 13 August 2015, after appearing regularly as the club fluctuated between the first and second tiers, Rueda terminated his contract with the Blanquivioletas.[7] He subsequently moved abroad for the first time, receiving offers from teams in Bulgaria and Israel,[8] eventually signing for Beitar Jerusalem F.C. and becoming a regular in the Holy Land team alongside compatriot Pablo de Lucas;[9] manager Slobodan Drapić stated "I wish I had eleven like Rueda", and he was among a growing contingent of Spaniards playing in the relatively obscure Israeli Premier League, gaining media attention back home.[8][10][11]
Rueda moved countries again in June 2017, when he signed a two-year deal for APOEL FC of the Cypriot First Division, a club whose director Juanjo Lorenzo was from Valladolid.[12] His debut season in Nicosia ended at the halfway point when he suffered a knee injury in training, ruling him out for six months.[13]
On 21 July 2019, free agent Rueda returned to Spain and joined second division team Extremadura UD.[14] The following 25 January, after only five official games, he cut ties with the club[15] and signed a 18-month contract with third-tier Gimnàstic de Tarragona four days later.[16]
On 5 August 2021, Rueda signed a one-year deal with UD Logroñés, recently relegated to the Primera División RFEF.[17]
