Juan Carlos Paredes Reasco (born 8 July 1987) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Club Sport Emelec[4] of the Ecuadorian Serie A.

A full international for the Ecuador national team since 2010, he has gained over 40 caps and represented the nation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Club career

Paredes is a skilful player who started playing for Huracán SC. He was sought by Guayaquil's Barcelona a year later and signed a contract with them.

He then moved on to Deportivo Cuenca and was loaned out to Rocafuerte of Ecuador's third division. He helped the team gain promotion to the second division for the 2008–09 season.

Deportivo Cuenca

He then came back to where he started as the new reinforcement for Cuenca's Copa Libertadores campaign.[5] He has been linked for a move to Serie A. In 2010, he moved to Deportivo Quito.

Deportivo Quito

Paredes was bought off by Deportivo Quito, where he played a few Copa Libertadores games and eventually ended up becoming Champions of the Ecuadorian Serie A in 2011, defeating Emelec in Home and Away finals.[6][7][8]

Barcelona

Paredes, having impressed with his speed and ability, signed for Guayaquil side Barcelona for the 2013 Season. Typically playing as a winger at his last club, in Barcelona he was mainly used as a right fullback which gained him experience to be Ecuador's starting fullback for numerous occasions.

Granada CF & Watford

On 16 July 2014, it was confirmed that Paredes had moved to Watford from La Liga side Granada, with both sides owned by the same family. Paredes had only moved to Granada earlier in the summer, suggesting it was a move that was designed to benefit the Championship club. Subject to obtaining a work permit and gaining international clearance, he signed a five-year deal with Watford of the Championship.[9]

Olympiakos

Paredes was loaned to Greek Super League champions Olympiakos on 31 January, 2017.[10]

International career

Paredes made his International debut against Mexico on 10 September 2010, in a 2–1 away win for Ecuador, which was seen as an overdue merit as part of supporters of his former Club, Deportivo Cuenca.

He was named in Ecuador's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil,[11] and played every minute of their campaign which ended in elimination from Group E.
