Sergio Tejera

Sergio Tejera Rodriguez (born 28 May 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for FC Cartagena as a central midfielder.

Club Career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Tejera joined local RCD Espanyol's youth ranks in 2000, aged 10. Six years later, he was spotted by Chelsea scout Frank Arnesen during a match with the Spanish under-15s, joining the London club in late March. During his spell with the Blues, he appeared in 22 games for the reserves and scored once.

In the last days of the 2009 January transfer window, Chelsea agreed to loan Tejera to RCD Mallorca in his country. On 24 July, the Balearic Islands side exercised their buying option on the player and signed him to a four-year contract.

Tejera spent the vast majority of his first seasons with Mallorca with the B team in the third division. On 7 November 2010, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, playing 11 minutes in a 2–3 away loss against Real Zaragoza.

In the summer of 2012, Tejera returned to Espanyol as Javi Marquez moved in the opposite direction.
