Pau Cendrós López (born 1 April 1987) is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD Collerense as either a right-back or a central defender.

Club career

[edit]

Mallorca

[edit]

Born in Palma de Mallorca, Cendrós rose through the youth ranks of Balearic Islands giants RCD Mallorca. His first professional spell was on loan, with lowly Benidorm CF.[1]

Cendrós was loaned again in the 2008–09 season, now to Canary Islands-based club CD Tenerife,[2] appearing rarely as it returned to La Liga after a seven-year absence.[3] In the following year more of the same, also in the Segunda División, as he represented Levante UD.[4]

On 29 August 2010, after being one of Levante's most important defensive players as the Valencia team returned to the top flight after two years,[5] Cendrós finally made his debut for Mallorca's main squad at the age of 23, playing the entire 0–0 home draw against Real Madrid in the season's opener.[6] He appeared in 31 games in his first year, starting in 29.[7]

In the 2011–12 campaign, challenged by newly signed Chico and Gianni Zuiverloon, Cendrós still managed to be the most used player in his position,[8] playing 25 league matches as Mallorca, coached by Joaquín Caparrós, finished in eighth position.[9]

Gent and Alcorcón

[edit]

Cendrós moved abroad for the first time on 7 August 2012, joining Belgian Pro League side K.A.A. Gent on a two-year contract.[10] In January 2014 he returned to his country, signing with AD Alcorcón of division two.[11]

Mallorca return and Lugo

[edit]

In the summer of 2014, Cendrós re-joined first professional club Mallorca, agreeing to a two-year deal.[12] He totalled nearly 3,000 minutes of action in the first season in his second spell, but was later deemed surplus to requirements by new manager Albert Ferrer.[13]

Cendrós joined CD Lugo also in the second tier on 17 August 2015.[14]

Mirandés

[edit]

On 19 July 2016, Cendrós signed for fellow league team CD Mirandés as a free agent.[15] On 25 January 2017, after only three competitive appearances, he left by mutual consent.[16]

Later career

[edit]

Cendrós competed in the Spanish lower leagues until his retirement, representing in quick succession SCR Peña Deportiva, Unionistas de Salamanca CF,[17] CE Andratx and UD Poblense.[18] He also had a spell in the Andorran Primera Divisió with UE Sant Julià.[19]
