Antonio "Toni" Calvo Arandes (born 28 March 1987) is a Spanish footballer who most recently played for Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta FC as a winger.

Club career

Barcelona / Aris

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Calvo joined FC Barcelona at the age of 17. He made his professional debuts in the 2006–07 season, totalling 385 minutes of play (only one start) as the reserves suffered relegation from the third division.

Calvo joined Aris Thessaloniki F.C. in the 2007 summer, signing a three-year contract and reuniting with Barcelona teammate Javito (and several others overall, including manager Quique Hernández). He scored for the Greek on 29 November, in a 1–1 away draw against Bolton Wanderers for the UEFA Cup's group stage.[1]

In August 2009, Calvo renewed his contract with the Thessaloniki club for a further two years. He scored six official goals during that season, five in the league and one in the cup, as the team finished fifth in the latter competition.

Parma / Bulgaria

On 27 December 2010, Parma F.C. confirmed Calvo had joined on loan until the end of the campaign.[2] He made his Serie A debut on 6 January of the following year in a 4–1 win at Juventus FC, coming on as a substitute for Sebastian Giovinco,[3] but only collected two further league appearances during his spell.

On 18 July 2011, Calvo moved to PFC Levski Sofia from Bulgaria on a one-year deal.[4] He made his competitive debut on 4 August, in the Europa League qualifying round 2–1 defeat of FC Spartak Trnava, and first appeared in the league four days later, setting up the winning goal for Ivan Tsvetkov in a 1–0 home win against PFC Slavia Sofia; he scored his first goal for the club on 21 October, in a 3–2 win over PFC Kaliakra Kavarna.

Anorthosis

In July 2012, Calvo moved to the Cypriot First Division with Anorthosis Famagusta FC, requesting to be released at the end of the season due to the fact he was the player with the highest salary on the team and the club was facing economic problems; president Savvas Kakos obliged, but the player eventually returned for the following campaign, with a much revised contract.[5]

International career

Overall, Calvo gained 16 caps for Spain at youth level. He represented the under-20 team at the 2007 FIFA World Cup in Canada, playing four times for the quarter-finalists.
