On the eve of the transfer window’s close, Orihuela CF announced a surprising move: the club has added Miguel Angel de las Cuevas, the experienced attacking midfielder formerly with Hércules CF, to its squad.
The player brings a refined technical touch and a track record from top-tier squads. He has worn the jerseys of Osasuna and Atlético Madrid and most recently appeared for Córdoba CF in the First RFEF, where he featured in all 38 league games last season.
The new Scorpion occupies a role where his versatility and game intelligence stand out. Across his professional career he has donned more than one kit, logging over 200 appearances in the first division and approaching a century in the second tier. He has consistently found the back of the net, a notable 34 goals across his career for a midfielder who regularly contributes in both phases of play. In the Copa del Rey, his presence for Atlético Madrid against Orihuela CF showcased his ability to influence big moments and deliver decisive performances.
Last season, he was part of a historic Córdoba CF campaign, contributing crucial minutes and finishing with nine goals and four assists. This combination of goal threat and creative service brings a new edge to Orihuela CF as they look to push for strong results in their upcoming fixtures.
