Aimar Moratalla Botifoll (born 11 January 1987), known simply as Aimar, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back or centre-back for Tercera Federación club UE Tona.
Club career
[edit]Born in Sant Antoni de Vilamajor, Barcelona, Catalonia, Aimar made his senior debut with EC Granollers in the regional leagues on 29 October 2006, in a 1–0 away win against UE Cornellà.[1] He signed for CF Peralada of the same league in 2007, and joined Tercera División side CD Banyoles in July 2008.
In summer 2009, Aimar moved to UE Llagostera, recently promoted to the fourth tier.[2] In 2011, after the club's promotion to Segunda División B, he renewed his contract,[3] but struggled to appear regularly due to a pubalgia.
Aimar featured sparingly during the 2013–14 season, as Llagostera reached Segunda División for the first time ever. He played his first match as a professional on 23 August 2014, starting the 2–0 away loss to UD Las Palmas.[4] He scored his only goal in the competition on 7 February of the following year, the game's only in a home victory over Recreativo de Huelva.[5]
Safe for a brief spell in the Finnish Veikkausliiga with Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho,[6] Aimar continued to play in the Catalan lower leagues.[7] On 27 January 2022, he signed with Tercera Federación club UE Olot,[8] winning promotion to Segunda Federación at the end of the campaign.[9]
