David Cortés Caballero (born 29 August 1979) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right-back.

He appeared in 273 La Liga matches in exactly ten seasons, mainly with Mallorca and Getafe (four years apiece). He won one Copa del Rey with the former club.

Club career[edit]

Born in Llerena, Badajoz, Cortés made his professional debut with local CF Extremadura in the Segunda División. He then moved to RCD MallorcainLa Liga (alongside teammate Poli), where he was first-choice for three full seasons,[1] helping the Balearic Islands team to the 2003 edition of the Copa del Rey.[2]

In summer 2006, Cortés signed with Madrid's Getafe CF.[3] After splitting duties with Romanian Cosmin Contrain2006–07, he started the following campaign as the side reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.[4]

In2009–10, with Contra already gone, Cortés was greatly overshadowed by new signing Miguel Torres,[5] but still contributed 20 league matches as Getafe qualified for the second time in the club's history to the Europa League.[6] In July 2010, at almost 31, he signed a one-year contract with Hércules CF, returned to the top flight after a 13-year absence.[7]

Cortés was the undisputed first-choice right-back during his only season with the Valencians,[8] who finished 19th and were immediately relegated.[9] In mid-July 2011, he joined Granada CF also from the top division on a two-year deal.[10]

From 2012to2014, Cortés competed in the second tier with Hércules[11] and Real Zaragoza.[12] On 15 September 2014, at already 35, he moved abroad for the first time, signing with Danish 1st Division side Aarhus Gymnastikforening for one year[13] and retiring after helping them to win promotion.
