Marc Pedraza Sarto (born 6 February 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for CE L'Hospitalet.
Club career
[edit]Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Pedraza was a product of local RCD Espanyol's academy. He spent three of his first four senior seasons with the B team in the Segunda División B, scoring ten goals in 2007–08 but also being relegated. The following year he upgraded to Segunda División and was loaned to Deportivo Alavés,[2] appearing sparingly as the Basques also dropped down a tier; his first professional goal came on 18 October 2008, in a 4–1 home win over Real Murcia.[3][4]
After returning, Pedraza continued to be mainly associated to the reserves. He played his first La Liga match with the main squad on 2 January 2010, coming on as a substitute for José Callejón in the last minute of a 1–0 away loss against Valencia CF.[5]
Pedraza was released by Espanyol in summer 2010, but in October he signed with another club in his native region, third-division CE L'Hospitalet.[6] He returned to the second tier after three full seasons, joining CD Numancia on a two-year contract.[7]
On 28 July 2017, Pedraza agreed to a three-year deal at RCD Mallorca.[8] Under manager Vicente Moreno, he was an undisputed starter as the side achieved two consecutive promotions,[9][10] but took part in only three games in the 2019–20 campaign, being subsequently released.[11]
Pedraza returned to division three on 12 August 2020, signing with FC Andorra, a club owned by Gerard Piqué.[12] In July 2022, after helping in their first-ever promotion to the second tier,[13] he returned to Hospitalet.
Personal life
[edit]Pedraza's father, Ángel, was also a footballer. A defender and midfielder, he played professionally for FC Barcelona and Mallorca, going on to coach his son at Hospitalet in one match.[14][15]
