Jorge Galán Anaut (born 22 January 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Club career
[edit]Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Galán made his professional – and La Liga – debut for hometown's CA Osasuna on 23 September 2009, in a game at Real Valladolid: replacing Carlos Aranda in the 70th minute, he scored the 2–1 winner in the next.[1] He played a further 19 league matches during the season, all as a substitute.
In mid-July 2010, a season-loan deal was arranged for Galán, as he joined Segunda División club SD Huesca.[2] He appeared in less than one third of the league matches for the Aragonese during his spell, also failing to find the net in just 479 minutes of play.[3]
Galán signed for Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock on 12 August 2011, on loan.[4] He made his debut as a substitute two days later, in a 4–1 home victory against Hibernian.[5]
In late January 2012, after only five official appearances for the Killie, Galán returned to his country and joined, still owned by Osasuna, Real Unión in Segunda División B.[6] He continued competing in the third tier the following years, representing Atlético Levante UD[7] and again Unión.[8]
