Club career
![](../I/Roberto_Trashorras.jpg.webp)
Born in Rábade, Province of Lugo, Galicia, Trashorras finished his youth career with FC Barcelona, playing one game with the first team on 6 October 2001, a 2–1 La Liga away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña where he came on as a second-half substitute for Alfonso Pérez.[2] In the summer of 2003 he moved to Real Madrid, only managing to appear for their reserves.[3]
Trashorras joined Segunda División side CD Numancia for 2005–06. He featured very little during his tenure – less than one third of the games[4]– and switched to UD Las Palmas also in that league the following season, finally establishing himself in professional football.[5]
In July 2008, Trashorras signed a five-year contract with RC Celta de Vigo of division two.[6] An undisputed starter from the beginning, he had his best season in 2009–10, scoring nine goals in 38 matches[7] and helping the Galicians to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, where they were ousted by eventual finalists Atlético Madrid (2–1 on aggregate, with the player netting in the first leg in Madrid in a 1–1 draw).[8][9][10]
On 11 August 2011, after reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with Celta, Trashorras moved to Rayo Vallecano, recently promoted to the top tier.[11] On 31 January 2018, after seven seasons as first choice and captain,[12] the 37-year-old left the club.[13]
On 29 August 2018, after several months of inactivity, Trashorras announced his retirement.[14] Three years later, he was appointed youth coach of CD Lugo,[15] and in June 2022 upgraded to their reserve team.[16]
