Iriney Santos da Silva (born 23 April 1981), known simply as Iriney, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder. He also holds a Spanish passport, having spent more than one decade playing in the country, mainly with Rayo Vallecano and Betis (three years apiece). He amassed La Liga totals of 151 games and two goals during seven seasons, with Rayo, Celta, Almería, Betis and Granada. ==Football career== Born in Humaitá, Amazonas, Iriney made his professional debuts with Associação Desportiva São Caetano in 2000, and moved to Spain with Rayo Vallecano three years later. First-choice since his beginnings with the Madrid side, he did saw it drop two consecutive divisions; he made his La Liga debut on 23 February 2003, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–4 home loss against Valencia CF. In the summer of 2005 Iriney joined Celta de Vigo, being one of the Galicians' most consistent players during his two-season spell in the top level. Following the 2007 relegation he decided to leave, but was unable to find a new club due to a lengthy judicial battle until the 2008 January transfer window, when he signed with UD Almería. Subsequently, after gaining match practice, Iriney was relatively used during his stay in Andalusia, with Almería consecutively maintaining its top flight status. In late June 2009 his contract expired and he moved to neighbours Real Betis, freshly relegated to the second level. He contributed with 36 games – 35 starts – and three goals in his second season as the club returned to the main division as champions and, on 25 February 2012, played his 100th official match with the ''Verdiblancos'', against Getafe CF. After repeatedly refusing to renew his contract, Iriney joined neighbouring Granada CF also in the first division, signing for three years as a free agent. After only one, however, he moved sides again, penning a two-year deal with Watford for an undisclosed fee. Iriney made his debut in the League Championship on 3 August 2013, starting and finishing the 1–0 win at Birmingham City. On 31 January of the following year he returned to Spain after being loaned to division two's RCD Mallorca, until the end of the season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iriney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
