Carlos Castro Caputo

Castro was born in Seville, Andalusia. Grown in the youth ranks of Sevilla FC, he never appeared officially for their first team, going on to resume his career almost exclusively in Segunda División B, mainly with Hércules CF. During his spell in the Valencian Community he was eventually awarded team captaincy, also being one of the most capped players in the club's history. After having appeared in 32 matches – 31 starts – in the 2005–06 season to help Hércules retain its Segunda División status, Castro left the Estadio José Rico Pérez after a run-in with manager José Bordalás. He continued playing in the region until his retirement in November 2008 with Villajoyosa CF (third division) and FC Jove Español (amateurs), calling it quits after not being able to recover from an injury. Castro served as assistant coach at Alicante CF in 2008–09, as the second-tier campaign ended in relegation and saw the side hire no fewer than four managers. He continued working with the organisation in directorial capacities, switching to Real Murcia in 2010 and returning to Hércules the following year. Subsequently, Castro was part of David Gallego's staff at RCD Espanyol and Sporting de Gijón.

Castro represented Spain at the 1991 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Italy, playing all the games for the eventual runners-up.
