Club career
editLafuente was born in Santurtzi, Biscay. After unsuccessfully emerging through the youth ranks of Athletic Bilbao – he only played for affiliates CD Basconia and Bilbao Athletic – he signed with third division side FC Cartagena in 2005.
Loaned to fellow league team Granada CF for 2008–09 and experiencing a solid season albeit with no promotion, Lafuente returned to Cartagena the following summer, with the club now in the second tier. He made his professional debut with the latter on 29 August 2009, playing 59 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Girona FC,[1] and scored his first goal in the competition on 19 September to help to a 2–1 home defeat of CD Castellón.[2] Additionally, in the return match against the former opposition, he netted twice in a 4–1 victory also at the Estadio Cartagonova.[3]
In the summer of 2013, after one season in division two with SD Ponferradina, Lafuente returned to the lower leagues with Racing de Santander.[4] After two years with Sestao River Club,[5] the 33-year-old moved to amateur football.[6][7]
