Héctor Font Romero (born 15 June 1984) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Born in Villarreal, Castellón, Valencian Community, Font started his career with hometown's Villarreal CF and appeared for the first team in the last two La Liga games in 2002–03, against RCD Espanyol and Real Betis. He spent the following season in the second division, on loan to Ciudad de Murcia.
Subsequently, Font returned to Villarreal where, although never an automatic starter, he managed to appear regularly. On 24 October 2004, he scored twice in a 4–0 home win against CD Numancia;[1] In the European front, he made 11 appearances (two goals) in the UEFA Cup as they reached the last eight, adding four matches in next campaign's UEFA Champions League for an eventual place in the semi-finals.
Surplus to requirements at Villarreal, Font joined CA Osasuna in July 2006. He made his official debut for the Navarrese club on 9 September in a 0–3 loss at FC Barcelona,[2] and would become first-choice in his second year, scoring in 3–1 home wins against RCD Mallorca and Atlético Madrid.[3]
In the second half of 2008–09, with the arrival of new coach José Antonio Camacho, Font was used sparingly. In late June 2009, the free agent moved to Real Valladolid on a three-year contract.[4] He only totalled 358 minutes of action in his first and only season, and the Castile and León team was also relegated from the top flight.
Font continued playing in the second level in the following years, with Xerez CD, Recreativo de Huelva,[5] FC Cartagena, CD Lugo and Hércules CF. In July 2014, he dropped down to the third level and signed for Real Oviedo.[6]
