Ángel Dealbert Ibáñez (born 1 January 1983) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a central defender.

He spent most of his 17-year senior career at Castellón, representing the club in three levels of Spanish football while playing 220 competitive matches. He appeared for Valencia in La Liga, and also competed professionally in Russia and the United Arab Emirates.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Benlloch, Province of Castellón, Valencian Community, Dealbert began his career with local CD Castellón. He made his first-team debut on 20 April 2002 in a Segunda División B match against Benidorm CF,[1] and went on to become an essential defensive element, winning promotion in the 2004–05 season[2] and helping the club to consolidate in the Segunda División the following years.

In late December 2008, Valencia CF's sporting director Fernando Gómez, who played for both sides, announced the signing of Dealbert on a free transfer. However, the player was allowed to remain at Castellón until the end of the campaign.[3][4]

After 24 La Liga games in his first year (34 in all competitions),[5] Dealbert was used solely as a backup from 2010 to 2012,[6][7][8][9] with the Che finishing third in all three seasons under Unai Emery.[10] He made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 30 August 2009, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 home win over Sevilla FC.[11]

Dealbert signed a three-year contract with FC Kuban Krasnodar in June 2012. After two years as first-choice in the Russian Premier League,[12] he left for Baniyas Club in the UAE Pro League.[13]

Dealbert returned to his native country on 3 August 2015, moving to second-tier CD Lugo.[14] He scored once from 36 appearances in his first year, helping to a 14th-place finish.[15]

In summer 2017, the 34-year-old Dealbert returned to Castellón after eight years, with the club now in the Tercera División.[16] Additionally, he became its co-owner alongside his former Valencia teammate Pablo Hernández,[17] winning promotion at the first attempt[18] and subsequently retiring, following which he was appointed their technical secretary;[19] they both left due to disagreements regarding the team in April 2019, but kept their position as shareholders.[20]
