Club Career

Betis

A product of Real Betis' youth ranks, Canas was born in Jerez de la Frontera, Province of Cadiz. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 3 May 2009, playing 83 minutes in a 0–2 home loss against Atletico Madrid. The Andalusians were ultimately relegated at the season's end.

Canas was definitely promoted to Betis' main squad for 2010–11. He contributed 15 games during the campaign (only four starts however) as the Verdiblancos returned to the top flight after two years, as champions, being a regular in the following two seasons.

Swansea City

In April 2013, before the season in Spain was over, Canas refused to renew his expiring contract with Betis, choosing instead to join Swansea City on a three-year deal.
