Club career

Born in Avilés, Asturias, Iglesias spent most of his professional career in the second division, with two stints in La Liga: in the 2001–02 season he appeared in 16 games for CD Tenerife, which were relegated,[1] and played second-fiddle to Albano Bizzarri in the following campaign, playing no matches for Real Valladolid.[2]

Over the course of 15 seasons, Julio Iglesias appeared in exactly 300 games in the second level, mainly for FC Barcelona B, Albacete Balompié and Xerez CD (three years apiece). He retired in June 2009 at the age of 36, then worked as a goalkeeper coach.[3]
