Rubén Pérez Chueca (born 7 August 1980) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He spent most of his career with Gimnàstic, representing the club in all three major levels of Spanish football and appearing in 241 competitive matches in eight years.[1]
Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Pérez began his career with CF Figueruelas in the Segunda División B, moving to Tercera División with neighbouring SD Huesca in the summer of 2000 and achieving promotion to the former in his first season. He continued competing at that level the following years, with Deportivo Alavés B and CD Badajoz.[2]
In January 2006, Pérez signed with Gimnàstic de Tarragona of Segunda División, playing his first game with the Catalan team on 26 February against Lorca Deportiva CF.[3] He appeared in a further 16 matches as the campaign ended in promotion.[4]
In 2006–07, Pérez battled with Albano Bizzarri for first-choice status, making his La Liga debut on 28 October 2006 in a 1–3 home loss to Real Madrid.[5] Both players ended the season with roughly the same number of appearances, and Nàstic returned to where they had come from in June.[4]
Pérez played second-fiddle to loanee Roberto in the 2007–08 season, but regained his starting position subsequently, with relegation to the third division befalling in 2012.[4] In July of that year, he renewed his contract for two more seasons with the option to a third.[6]
On 31 January 2014, after being left out of the squad for the campaign, Pérez cut ties with Gimnàstic[7] and moved to fellow third-tier SD Huesca on 3 February.[8] He left the latter club in May,[9] and joined amateurs CDC Torreforta in August, where he was used as a centre-back.[10]
On 28 January 2015, Pérez returned to the goal and the third division, signing for CF Reus Deportiu.[11]
