Andrés Tomás Prieto Albert (born 17 October 1993) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Málaga CF as a goalkeeper.

Football career

Born in Alicante, Valencian Community, Prieto joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2008, aged 15. He was named to the C-team's pre-season program in the 2012 summer, but was later demoted back to the youth squad.

Despite appearing mainly with the Juvenil A squad, Prieto made his professional debut on 13 April 2013, replacing injured Tomás Mejías in a 3–1 away success against Recreativo de Huelva for the Segunda División championship.[1] In May 2013, he was definitely promoted to the C-side in Segunda División B, but acted mainly as a backup to Alfonso Herrero during the campaign.

On 7 August 2014, Prieto moved to another reserve team, RCD Espanyol B, also in the third level.[2] On 4 July 2017, he signed a two-year deal with Málaga CF.[3]

Prieto made his La Liga debut on 21 October 2017, starting in a 0–2 away loss against FC Barcelona.[4]
