Roberto Torres Morales (born 7 March 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Primera Divisió club Inter Club d'Escaldes.

He spent the better part of his career with Osasuna, appearing in eight La Liga seasons with the club and also winning the 2018–19 Segunda División.

Club career

[edit]

Osasuna

[edit]

Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Torres began his career with hometown club CA Osasuna. He spent five full seasons with the B side in the Segunda División B, scoring a career-best 16 goals in 35 games in 2011–12 while being deployed mainly as an attacking midfielder.[2]

Torres made his first-team and La Liga debut on 11 December 2011, coming off the bench for Lolo for the last 20 minutes of a 1–1 away draw against Málaga CF.[3] On 9 August of the following year, he was definitely promoted to the main squad.[4]

Despite appearing sparingly during 2012–13, Torres was handed his first start on 1 June 2013, and netted his team's first in a 4–2 loss at Real Madrid.[5] In the following campaign he featured more regularly and scored five times, but suffered relegation.[6]

On 22 July 2015, Torres signed a new three-year deal with the Rojillos until 2018.[7] He scored a team-best 12 goals during the 2018–19 season for the Segunda División champions[8] and, consequently, agreed to an extension until 2021 with his buyout clause being set at €10 million.[9]

Torres put an end to his 17-year spell at the El Sadar Stadium in December 2022, having made 353 official appearances.[10][11]

Iran

[edit]

Torres moved abroad for the first time in January 2023, with the 33-year-old signing for Foolad F.C. in the Persian Gulf Pro League.[12] On 10 September that year, he joined Gol Gohar Sirjan F.C. of the same country and tier.[13]

Later career

[edit]

In October 2024, Torres moved to Andorran Primera Divisió club Inter Club d'Escaldes.[14]
