Tito (footballer, born July 1985)


Roberto Román Triguero, known as Tito, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Rayo Vallecano as a right back.

Club career

Born in Madrid, Tito spent his first six years as a senior player in lowly clubs in his native region, also representing RCD Mallorca B in the third and fourth divisions. In August 2009, due to a clause in his contract which allowed him to leave for free if any second level team required his services, he joined another side from the capital, Rayo Vallecano, for two seasons; he appeared in only ten games in his second year as they returned to La Liga after an eight-year absence, but subsequently became an undisputed starter.
Tito scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 7 April 2012, netting his team's last in a 6–0 home demolition of CA Osasuna. He started in all of his 36 league appearances during the campaign, totaling 3,161 minutes of action as they managed to stay afloat.
On 20 December 2015, Tito and teammate Raúl Baena were sent off before the 30 minute mark of an eventual 2–10 away loss against Real Madrid. On 4 July 2016, after Rayo's top level relegation, the former signed a two-year deal with Granada CF; the following 31 January he was loaned to fellow league club CD Leganés, being bought outright on 6 June.
Tito returned to Rayo Vallecano on 29 July 2018, with the free agent signing a one-year contract.
