Ander Cantero Armendariz (born 9 January 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Burgos CF.
Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Cantero joined CA Osasuna's youth setup in 2002, aged seven. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 29 September 2012, starting in a 0–2 Segunda División B home loss against CD Izarra.
On 13 August 2014, Cantero was loaned to Zamora CF still in the third division.[1] After being sparingly used, he moved to Real Madrid C the following 30 January, still in a temporary deal.[2]
On 7 July 2015, Cantero signed a three-year deal with another reserve team, Villarreal CF B also in the third tier.[3] After spending his first season as a backup to Aitor Fernández, he subsequently became an undisputed starter for the B-side.
Ahead of the 2017–18 campaign, Cantero was promoted to the first team due to the injuries of both Sergio Asenjo and Andrés Fernández, and acted as a backup to Mariano Barbosa. On 25 October 2017 he made his debut with the main squad, starting in a 0–1 loss at SD Ponferradina for the season's Copa del Rey.[4]
On 6 July 2018, Cantero was loaned to Segunda División side CF Rayo Majadahonda, for one year.[5] He spent the majority of the campaign as a backup to longtime incumbent Basilio, and suffered team relegation.
On 9 July 2019, Cantero agreed to a four-year contract with CD Lugo, also in the second division.[6] On 25 July 2021, he signed a three-year deal with SD Eibar, recently relegated to division two.[7]
On 9 August 2023, after being only a backup option to Luca Zidane during the campaign, Cantero moved to fellow second division side Racing de Ferrol.[8] On 7 July of the following year, he signed a three-year contract with Burgos CF in the same category.[9]
