Club career

Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Longás was a youth product of Real Zaragoza's youth system, and he made his first-team debut on 17 September 2006 in a 2–0 home win against RCD Mallorca.[2] He finished the season with ten La Liga appearances for his hometown club, mostly as a late substitute.[3]

To gain more experience, Longás was loaned the following campaign to CD Tenerife in the Segunda División,[4] and was regularly used at the Canary Islands side, scoring in a 2–2 home draw with Albacete Balompié.[5] In August 2008 he was loaned once again, now to FC Barcelona Atlètic, coached by former Spain international Luis Enrique and just promoted to Segunda División B.[6][7]

In late July 2009, Longás was released by Zaragoza and joined FC Cartagena, recently returned to division two.[8] He continued playing in that tier the following seasons, with Gimnàstic de Tarragona, Racing de Santander and CE Sabadell FC.[9]
