Club career

Born in Madrid, Carruana began his career aged just 18, in 1908, at his hometown club Club Español de Madrid, playing a pivotal role in the club's first piece of silverware, the 1908–09 Centro Championship, and then helped Español reach the 1909 Copa del Rey Final, which they lost 1-3 to Club Ciclista.[2] In 1909, He moved to Madrid FC, and played for them for one season.[3] His great displays earned him a move to RS Gimnástica in 1910, featuring alongside the likes of José Manuel Kindelán and Sócrates Quintana.[4] At Gimnástica, Carruana did not lose his way, as he once again played an important role in the first piece of silverware of a club, this time being the 1909–10 Centro Championship, winning it again in 1910–11. In 1912, he helped Gimnástica reach which still remains the only Copa del Rey final in the club's history, which they lost 0-2 to FC Barcelona.[5] He was then signed by RCD Espanyol, but his spell in Catalonia only lasted one season, before returning to Madrid and Gimnástica, winning yet another Centro Championship in 1913–14.

International career

Being a Sociedad Gimnástica player, he was eligible to play for the Madrid national team. He was a member of the Madrid side that participated in the first edition of the Prince of Asturias Cup in 1915, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF.[6] Carruana was also a member of the Madrid team that participated in the following edition, in which they finished as runner-ups to Catalonia.[7]
