Luis Morán

Born in Luanco, Asturias, and a product of local Sporting de Gijón's youth academy, Morán appeared once for its first team in 2006–07, with the club in the Segunda División. In his first two full professional seasons, he scored four goals in 28 matches apiece. In 2008–09, with Sporting now in La Liga, Morán scored an historic goal in the last round against Recreativo de Huelva (2–1 home win), which guaranteed top-flight status for a further year. He repeated the same exact numbers the following campaign, being utilised mostly as a right winger by manager Manuel Preciado as opposed to his attacking midfielder role in the reserves. Morán only made 15 league appearances in 2010–11 – six starts, 608 minutes, no goals – as the side once again remained in the top division. On 31 August 2012, after a short loan spell with AEK Larnaca FC in Cyprus, Sporting announced he was leaving the club. On 31 January 2013, after spending several months without a team, Morán signed for second-tier CD Mirandés until the end of the season. Safe for a very brief spell in his country with UD Logroñés, he then plied his trade in the Cypriot first and second divisions as well as the Football League Greece. Morán returned to his hometown in August 2017, with the 30-year-old joining Marino de Luanco on a one-year deal. On 5 July 2019, after having been an essential unit as the team promoted from Tercera División as runners-up under former Spanish international Oli, he renewed his contract.

Morán's mother, Soledad, was a teacher. His grandfather Manuel (died in 2006) was mayor of Gozón for the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.
