Career

Career start at home

Ruano, who was born in 1983 in the tranquil town of Usagre in Extremadura , spent part of his youth career at the football club of Llerena in Campillo de Llerena . There he was active in the youth team until 1999, before he moved to Monesterio for a year , where he worked for the youth sports club. Then he came to CD Badajoz in 2000 , where he finally made his breakthrough in men's football, having previously been used in the B-team of the western Spanish. Until 2003 he finally spent a large part of his playing time in the B-Team before he was brought into the squad of the first combat team in 2003. In the team that played in Group IV of Segunda División B , the third highest division in Spanish football , he was used in eleven league games, but remained goalless and spent the rest of the 2003/04 season in the lower-class B team. After he was given up by his club at the end of the season, Ruano spent half a season with league competitor CD Don Benito , where he did not have the regular strength, but at least made 14 goalless appearances in the championship. With Badajoz still in the championship play-off last year, the midfielder could not really keep up with the CD Don Benito throughout the season and was even relegated to fourth division at the end of the season . But before that, Ruano made a move to Spanish professional football, where he would finally celebrate his breakthrough as a professional at FC Córdoba .

First steps in professional football

After his inclusion in the professional squad of the Spanish second division team at the time , he came to a total of 24 second division appearances for the latter in the course of the 2004/05 season , in which he also scored a goal, his first ever goal in men's football. At the end of the season, it was not enough for the club from Andalusia in the sometimes very tightly staggered table to stay in the league and they just rose to a relegation place after six seasons in the second highest football league in Spain. Once there, the team could not secure a place in the promotion play-off, but was still represented in the Copa del Rey . As an up-and-coming core player in the middle ranks of his team, the offensive all-rounder made a total of 31 appearances in Segunda División B and scored four goals. During the summer break, Ruano finally got an offer from a Spanish professional club; the CD Tenerife wanted to sign him. However, this only got the chance to change the midfielder on loan. After he had signed a loan contract for the autumn 2006/07 season with the club, which almost relegated to the third division Spain after a bad previous season and had to convert since then , he was used for this in only four second division games. He made his debut for the club in the 1-0 away win over UD Almería on August 26, 2007, when he came on the pitch in the 62nd minute for Ángel Luis Rodríguez Díaz . Further substitutions followed in two subsequent games by the end of the year. In the 2-1 away defeat against UD Vecindario , the 23-year-old Spaniard was in the team's starting line-up for the first time, but could not prevail and was therefore substituted towards the end. Although the island club had a purchase option on the young player, it was never drawn and the midfielder was given back to his home club after the loan period for the winter transfer period had expired, which, however, immediately loaned him back. Since he apparently could not really gain a foothold in professional football, he was given up to the end of the season to the third division FC Orihuela , who then used him in 15 championship games. At the club, which had just been promoted from the Tercera División, he completed a passable spring season in which the team made it to seventh place in the table and thus barely missed a Copa del Rey starting place.

Final change to the third class

Immediately after returning to his home club, the club officials decided to release Juan Ramón Ruano Santana for transfer because of the hopelessness of asserting himself in Spanish professional football. Soon after, Ruano moved to Benidorm to play CD Benidorm there . At the beginning he was unable to prevail, mainly because of a longer injury-related absence, and by the end of the season he had only eight missions and two hits. With the team, he brought it to fourth place in the table, which meant a place in the promotion play-off, where the coastal townspeople, however, failed to their opponents. In the following season, the all-rounder fought for a regular place at the club from the well-known seaside resort on the Mediterranean and made a total of 35 league appearances for the club, in which he also promoted two hits in the opposing goal. However, the team was unable to match the successes of the previous year and was involved in the relegation battle for long stretches of the season, which they could ultimately win in 14th place and fend off a possible relegation. This was also a reason for Ruano's new club change at the end of the season, when his path led him to Deportivo Alavés . With the club's first fighting team, which was also located in the third highest division after relegation in the previous season, he was immediately formed into a core force, who had 31 league appearances and two goals by the end of the season. In the end, with a fifth place, it was just not enough for the promotion play-off, but it fixed a starting place in the Copa del Rey, another sobering success for the team. Although the success and his work as a regular player Ruano decided to start another club change at the end of the season, which this time led him to league rivals UD Alzira . At the club, which at the end of the season no longer managed to stay up and had to make the way to the Tercera, he completed 16 league games with one goal until winter before a foreign club caught his eye.

Surprise transfer to Austria

After the Austrian Bundesliga club LASK Linz already spoke in December 2010 of a possible obligation of the technically savvy player, the 27-year-old was finally signed by the relegation-threatened Upper Austrian club in January 2011 while the team was at training camp in Turkey and the player had to travel to his team. Initially presented by the club as an attacking midfielder, but later also used in other midfield positions, the club officials described Ruano as a player with “great potential”, who was particularly noticeable for his “good overview, short ball handling and strong dribbling” . The Linzers , who tried to take a similar path to their local rival, SV Ried , by accepting Spanish players , had three Spaniards in the professional squad with Ruano and the players Rubén López and Aridane Tenesor . His real debut in the Austrian Bundesliga finally gave Ruano 12 February 2011 at a 0: 1 home defeat which at that time also still strongly relegation-threatened SV Mattersburg when he used from the start and from the 86th minute through Leonhard Kaufmann replaced has been. In the next round, with a 2-0 defeat in the Upper Austria derby between Linz and Ried, the offensive all-rounder was used again from the start and replaced by Lukas Kragl shortly before the end of the game . This was followed by another nine league appearances by the end of the season, all of which he only made as a substitute player and mostly only came on the lawn for a few minutes. Due to the lack of playing minutes and the lack of quality as a joker, the goals in Austria's first class also failed to materialize. As in his time in Spain, he could not really assert himself in Austrian professional football and, as has often happened in his past, was relegated to the second-class first division with the Linzers .
