Club career
Born in Benlloch , Province of Castellón , Valencian Community , Dealbert began his career with local CD Castellón . He made his first-team debut on 20 April 2002 in a Segunda División B match against Benidorm CF ,[ 1] and went on to become an essential defensive element, winning promotion in the 2004–05 season [ 2] and helping the club to consolidate in the Segunda División the following years.
In late December 2008, Valencia CF 's sporting director Fernando Gómez , who played for both sides, announced the signing of Dealbert on a free transfer . However, the player was allowed to remain at Castellón until the end of the campaign .[ 3] [ 4]
After 24 La Liga games in his first year (34 in all competitions),[ 5] Dealbert was used solely as a backup from 2010 to 2012 ,[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] with the Che finishing third in all three seasons under Unai Emery .[ 10] He made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 30 August 2009, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 home win over Sevilla FC .[ 11]
Dealbert signed a three-year contract with FC Kuban Krasnodar in June 2012. After two years as first-choice in the Russian Premier League ,[ 12] he left for Baniyas Club in the UAE Pro League .[ 13]
Dealbert returned to his native country on 3 August 2015, moving to second-tier CD Lugo .[ 14] He scored once from 36 appearances in his first year , helping to a 14th-place finish.[ 15]
In summer 2017, the 34-year-old Dealbert returned to Castellón after eight years, with the club now in the Tercera División .[ 16] Additionally, he became its co-owner alongside his former Valencia teammate Pablo Hernández ,[ 17] winning promotion at the first attempt [ 18] and subsequently retiring, following which he was appointed their technical secretary;[ 19] they both left due to disagreements regarding the team in April 2019, but kept their position as shareholders.[ 20]
