Alberto Escassi Oliva (born 28 February 1989) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Numancia as a midfielder.
Football career
Escassi was born in Málaga, Andalusia. After playing with two other clubs as a youth, including hometown's Málaga CF, he finished his football grooming with Getafe CF,[1] making his senior debuts in 2008 and helping the B-team promote to the third division for the first time ever in his second year.
On 13 April 2010, Escassi made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, replacing veteran Javier Casquero in the dying minutes of a 3–0 home win against Villarreal CF.[2] On 16 December, he appeared in the season's UEFA Europa League against BSC Young Boys, with the Madrid side winning 1–0 but being eliminated in the group stage.[3]
For the 2011–12 campaign, both Escassi and teammate Adrián Sardinero were loaned to Hércules CF in the second level. On 10 July 2012, both players moved on a permanent basis, with the former signing for two years.[4]
Escassi scored his first professional goal on 26 August 2012, netting his team's in a 1–2 home loss against fierce rivals Elche CF.[5] On 13 August 2014, after the Valencians' relegation, he signed a two-year deal with fellow league team AD Alcorcón.[6]
On 30 June 2015, Escassi terminated his contract with the Madrid club,[7] and joined UE Llagostera also in the second tier hours later.[8] On 28 June 2016, following the latter's relegation, he signed for CD Numancia.[9]
