Aitor Monroy Rueda (born 18 October 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for CD Azuqueca.

Club career

Born in Madrid, Monroy signed with Atlético Madrid in 2005 from neighbouring club RSD Alcalá. He could only represent the C and B teams over a four-year spell, the latter in the Segunda División B.[1]

From 2009 to 2011, Monroy continued to compete in division three, with UD Logroñés. He missed most of his first season due to injury,[2] appearing in just 12 league games.

Monroy's first top-flight experience occurred in 2011–12, with FC Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț in Romania. In the following campaign he played 28 Liga I matches and scored his first goal as a professional, in a 3–0 win against CS Concordia Chiajna.[3]

In January 2014, Monroy transferred to fellow league side CFR Cluj for €40,000.[4] That November, he chose to terminate his contract over unpaid wages,[5] and the following February he signed with Moldovan National Division's FC Sheriff Tiraspol.[6]

After two seasons with Maccabi Petah Tikva F.C. of the Israeli Premier League, Monroy returned to Romania in January 2018, signing for FC Dinamo București.[7] In the following years, he represented in quick succession FC Dunărea Călărași (Romanian top flight),[8] Internacional de Madrid (Spanish third tier)[9] and Jamshedpur FC (Indian Super League).[10]

Monroy returned to the Spanish lower leagues and Alcalá in March 2022, aged 34.[1]
