Rubén Iván Martínez Andrade (born 22 June 1984), known simply as Rubén, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Levante UD as a goalkeeper. ==Football career== Born in Coristanco, Galicia, Rubén moved to FC Barcelona's youth ranks in 1997, and reached the club's reserves five years later. As Turkey's Rüştü Reçber went on loan in the 2004–05 season he was handed the role of third-choice in the first team, behind Víctor Valdés and Albert Jorquera. On 18 December 2004 Rubén entered the pitch for Xavi after Valdés' dismissal in a 1–1 away draw against Valencia CF,〔(El Barça salva un punto con un penalti inexistente (Barça rescues one point with invented penalty) ); El Mundo, 18 December 2004 〕 and kept his place for the subsequent 2–1 La Liga win over Levante UD.〔(Eto'o fulmina a un Levante que no mereció perder (Eto'o obliterates Levante that did not deserve to lose) ); El Mundo, 21 December 2004 〕 After some more years in the B-squad and an unassuming second division loan at Racing de Ferrol (no games played, eventual relegation), he was released by Barcelona, joining FC Cartagena in the third level and going on to play in more than 80 official matches in his first two seasons combined, promoting in the first and nearly repeating the feat in the second. On 25 August 2010 Rubén was sold to Málaga CF, for €1.35 million.〔(Rubén, octavo fichaje del Málaga 2010/11 (Rubén, eighth Málaga signing for 2010/11) ); Málaga's official website, 31 August 2010 〕 On 23 September he made his official debut, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 win at Getafe CF.〔(Away day joy for Malaga ); ESPN Soccernet, 23 September 2010〕 However, in late December, he fractured his right wrist in training – his second major physical ailment whilst at the club – being sidelined for the rest of the campaign〔(Rubén estará entre dos y tres meses de baja tras romperse la muñeca (Rubén to miss two or three months after wrist fracture) ); Viva Fútbol, 1 January 2011 〕 and prompting the Andalusians to sign another goalkeeper in the winter transfer window, as Sergio Asenjo also suffered a severe injury (knee). After a series of bad performances upon his recovery and also due to the managerial change at Málaga, Rubén lost his position to Wilfredo Caballero, being further demoted to third-choice after the club signed Carlos Kameni in January 2012. He was loaned to fellow top-divisioner Rayo Vallecano for the 2012–13 season.〔(Rubén jugará cedido en el Rayo Vallecano (Rubén will play with Rayo Vallecano on loan) ); Rayo Herald, 18 July 2012 〕 On 23 July 2013 Rubén returned to the Madrid side on a permanent deal, signing a one-year contract.〔(Rubén regresa al Rayo (Rubén returns to Rayo) ); Marca, 23 July 2013 〕 On 28 May of the following year he moved to fellow league team UD Almería, in a one-year deal.〔(Rubén, portero procedente del Rayo Vallecano, ficha por el Almería (Rubén, goalkeeper from Rayo Vallecano, signs for Almería) ); Almería's official website, 28 May 2014 〕 On 2 June 2015, after suffering relegation with the Andalusians, Rubén agreed to a three-year contract with Levante UD.〔(El Levante UD llega a un principio de acuerdo con el portero Rubén Martínez (Levante UD reaches agreement in principle with goalkeeper Rubén Martínez) ); Levante's official website, 2 June 2015 〕 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「Rubén Iván Martínez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
