Marc Pedraza


Marc Pedraza Sarto is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Mallorca as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Pedraza was a product of local RCD Espanyol's youth ranks. He spent his first senior season with the B-team in Segunda División B, scoring ten goals but also being relegated. In the following year he upgraded to Segunda División and was loaned to Deportivo Alavés, appearing sparingly as the Basques also dropped down a level.
Returning to his native region, Pedraza continued to be mainly associated with Espanyol's reserves. On 2 January 2010, he played his first and only La Liga match, coming on as a substitute for José Callejón in the last minute of a 0–1 away loss against Valencia CF.
In the summer of 2010, Pedraza was released by Espanyol, but in October he signed with another club in his native region, third division's CE L'Hospitalet. After three full seasons he returned to the second level, joining CD Numancia on a two-year contract.

Personal life

Pedraza's father, Ángel, was also a footballer. A defender and midfielder, he played professionally for FC Barcelona and RCD Mallorca, going on to coach his son at Hospitalet in one match.
