Ángel Imanol Lafita Castillo (born 7 August 1984) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Getafe CF. Usually a winger, being comfortable on both sides of the pitch, he can also appear as an attacking midfielder. ==Club career== A product of hometown Real Zaragoza's youth system, Lafita was born in Zaragoza, being promoted from its B-side after stellar performances during the 2004–05 season and making his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 28 August 2005 in a 0–0 draw at Atlético Madrid. He went on to become an important element in the 2006–07 campaign, helping the Aragonese to a berth in the UEFA Cup after contributing with 28 games and one goal, in a 2–0 away win against Racing de Santander on 10 December 2006.〔(El Zaragoza 'recupera' la Champions (Zaragoza 'regains' Champions) ); El Mundo, 10 December 2006 〕 In August 2007 Lafita was loaned to Deportivo de La Coruña,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Transfer information )〕 which had an option to buy at the end of the season.
