José María Movilla

An unsuccessful graduate from Real Madrid's system, Madrid-born Movilla started his professional career with modest clubs Moscardó, Numancia and Ourense.

On 4 July 2009, Movilla moved close to home as he agreed to a two-year contract at Rayo Vallecano. In 2010–11, he contributed 41 matches and 3,269 minutes in a return to the top flight after eight years.
