Diego Cervero Otero (born 13 August 1983) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CF Fuenlabrada as a centre forward.

Club career

Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Cervero graduated from Real Oviedo's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2000–01 season, in Tercera División. In the 2003 summer he was promoted to the main squad, now also in the fourth level, appearing regularly for the side during his three-year spell.[1]

In August 2006, Cervero went on a trial at Oldham Athletic after turning down a new contract from Oviedo.[2] However, nothing came of it and he moved to UD Marbella, signing in the subsequent transfer window with CD Lealtad.

In July 2007, Cervero returned to Oviedo,[3] and scored a career-best 35 goals during the 2008–09 campaign. On 15 July 2009, he signed a three-year deal with Segunda División B's UD Logroñés.[4]

On 5 July 2012, Cervero returned to his former club Oviedo after agreeing to a three-year contract.[5] He renewed his link in June 2014, also accepting a pay cut;[6] during most of his stint, he acted as team captain.

Cervero made his Segunda División debut on 23 August 2015, aged 32, coming on as a late substitute for Miguel Linares in a 2–2 home draw against CD Lugo.[7]
