Leandro Cabrera

Leandro Daniel Cabrera Sasia (born 17 June 1991) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays for Spanish club RCD Espanyol. Mainly a central defender, he can also play as a left back.

He spent the vast majority of his career in Spain, mostly in Segunda Division. Other than in his own country, he also competed professionally in Italy.

Club Career

Born in Montevideo, Cabrera started his career with local Defensor Sporting, playing seven Primera Division matches for the first team as they won the 2009 Clausura. In June 2009 he signed with La Liga club Atletico Madrid for €1.5 million, paid to former Uruguay international player Daniel Fonseca who owned his rights (and ceded 50% to Atletico).

In a strange first season, where he even failed to appear for the reserves, Cabrera's debut for the first team only took place on 2 May 2010, playing as left back in a 3–1 away defeat against Sevilla FC. He was also booked in the game.

In the summer of 2010, Cabrera was loaned to Recreativo de Huelva for 2010–11, with the Andalusians in the Segunda Division.
