Alejandro 'Álex' Cruz Rodríguez (born 17 June 1990) is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD San Fernando as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Mogán, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Cruz made his senior debut in 2008 with local club UD Vecindario in Segunda División B. After good performances, he signed a four-year contract with Gimnàstic de Tarragona from Segunda División.[1]

In his first season with the Catalans, Cruz was fairly used as they finished in 18th position with 51 points, but just one place before the relegation zone. His first match in the competition took place on 30 August 2009 when he came on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win against Real Murcia,[2] and his maiden goal occurred the following 17 January in a 2–2 draw at Elche CF.[3]

Cruz agreed to a three-and-a-half-year deal with Granada CF in January 2011.[4] He achieved promotion to the second tier, but totalled only 121 minutes of action in the process.

In July 2011, Cruz was loaned to CE Sabadell FC, recently promoted to division two.[5] The following summer, after scarcely featuring throughout the campaign, he joined UCAM Murcia CF, also on loan.[6]

On 2 September 2013, Cruz signed for UE Llagostera after being released by Granada.[7] He was released in June of the following year, and moved to Burgos CF also in the third tier on 8 August.[8]

Cruz continued competing in the third division in the following years, representing Real Jaén, CD Mensajero, CD Ebro and CD Lealtad.[9]
