Álvaro Rubio Robres (born 18 April 1979) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Valladolid as a defensive midfielder.
Football career
Born in Logroño, La Rioja, Rubio began his professional career with Real Zaragoza, but never made it past the B-team. In January 2000, he moved to Albacete Balompié – first on loan – where, after a slow start, he became a very important unit for the Castile-La Mancha side, in the second division.
After 25 matches in the 2002–03 season, as Albacete returned to La Liga after a seven-year absence, Rubio made his top flight debut on 26 October 2003 in a 2–3 away loss against Real Betis. He amassed a further 50 matches until June 2005, when the club was relegated back.
For the 2006–07 campaign, Rubio signed with Real Valladolid, being promoted to the top level in his first year[1] and rarely missing a game subsequently. Mainly a defensive-minded player, he scored his first goals as a professional in 2007–08, the first coming on 28 October 2007 in a 2–2 draw at CA Osasuna (three for the season).[2]
Due to injuries, Rubio could only appear in 16 league matches in the 2009–10 campaign, and Valladolid dropped down to division two for the first time in three years.
