Pablo Íñiguez de Heredia Larraz (born 20 January 1994), known as Íñiguez, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Hércules CF on loan from CF Reus Deportiu mainly as a central defender but also as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Burgos, Íñiguez joined Villarreal CF's academy in 2003, aged only nine.[1] He was selected by the first team for a La Liga match against Real Betis on 19 November 2011, but did not leave the bench;[2] he met the same fate against FC Bayern Munich, for the UEFA Champions League.

On 14 January 2012, one week before his 18th birthday, Íñiguez made his professional debut, appearing for the reserves against FC Cartagena for the Segunda División championship.[3] He played his first official game with the main squad on 2 December, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Elche CF.[4]

On 27 August 2013, Iñiguez signed a new five-year deal with the Yellow Submarine, freshly promoted to the top flight.[5] On 21 August of the following year, he moved to second level's Girona FC in a season-long loan.[6]

On 5 July 2016, Íñiguez was loaned to Rayo Vallecano for one season.[7] On 11 July of the following year, he joined fellow second tier side CF Reus Deportiu permanently, with Villarreal holding a buy-back clause.[8]
