Maximiliano Amondarain

Amondarain was born in Montevideo. After graduating from Nacional's youth system, he was loaned to Progreso in 2012 summer. Progreso also kept an agreement with Nacional by receiving a part of the sale if the player was sold. Amondarain made his professional debut on 7 October 2012, in a 0–2 away defeat against Fénix. He finished the season with 18 appearances, and returned to Nacional. On 30 August 2013, Cardiff City confirmed the signing of the free agent Amondarain after an impressive trial period earlier in the summer. He signed a four-year deal with the club after a one-month trial basis. Amondarain's contract with Cardiff was terminated by mutual agreement on 24 June 2015, having played no senior games for the club. On 21 November he joined Elche CF's reserve team on a trial basis, signing a contract in December being registered in the first team in January. Prior to the 2016–17 Jupiler League season, he spent time on trial with FC Emmen but was not offered a permanent contract. Amondarain signed for Barakaldo in October 2016, moving to the same Basque region from where his grandparents had emigrated to South America at the time of the Spanish Civil War.
