Arturo Juan Rodríguez Pérez-Reverte (born 30 April 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Deportivo La Coruña as a forward.

Club career

Born in Cartagena, Murcia, Arturo began playing as a senior with local CD Bala Azul in the 2008–09 season, in Tercera División. In 2009, he moved to FC Cartagena and was assigned to the reserves in the same category.[1]

In July 2011 Arturo first arrived in Segunda División B, signing with newly formed CF La Unión,[2] scoring 11 goals in the club's first and only season of existence. On 30 June of the following year, he agreed to a contract with another reserve team, Getafe CF B also in division three.[3]

On 8 July 2013, Arturo joined fellow third tier side La Roda CF.[4] On 30 December, he signed for Córdoba CF in Segunda División, after being the Castilian-Manchegan's topscorer with 15 goals in only 19 appearances.[5]

Arturo made his professional debut on 4 January 2014, playing the last 21 minutes and scoring the last of a 2–0 home success over Recreativo de Huelva.[6] He contributed with 19 appearances and two goals, as the Andalusians returned to La Liga after a 42-year absence.

On 15 July 2014 Arturo was loaned to AD Alcorcón, also in the second level.[7] After appearing rarely, he terminated his loan on 7 January of the following year,[8] and moved to fellow league team UE Llagostera hours later, also in a temporary deal.[9]

On 20 January 2016, after spending the first half of the campaign with Córdoba, Arturo was loaned to Dundee until June;[10] [11] he totalled only five games for the Dees, all as a substitute. On 13 July, he returned to Cartagena, now for the main squad in the third level, after agreeing to a two-year contract.[12]

Arturo subsequently spent the remainder of his career in the third division, representing UCAM Murcia CF, CE Sabadell FC, CD Atlético Baleares, San Sebastián and Deportivo La Coruña.[13]

Personal life

Arturo's uncle, Arturo Pérez-Reverte, is a novelist and member of the Royal Spanish Academy.[14]
