Sito Riera
Spanish footballer
Llorenç "Sito" Riera Ortega (born 5 January 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Tercera Federación club Manacor.
A youth and reserve player at Barcelona and Espanyol, he never featured professionally in his own country, going on to spend over a decade abroad. He played top-flight football in Greece, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Poland and Cyprus.
Career
Born in Manacor, Balearic Islands, Riera represented both major clubs in Barcelona, FC Barcelona and Espanyol, but never made it past their reserve sides. In the 2007–08 season, he suffered relegation from the Segunda División B with the latter, failing to score any goals in the process.
On 8 July 2009, after a loan experience with Panthrakikos, Riera signed for Panionios also of the Super League Greece. On 14 December 2011, he left by mutual consent.
Riera left Chornomorets Odesa – where he spent one and a half years, earning a late red card in his last game for the team, a 1–0 away win against PSV Eindhoven in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League– at the start of March 2014, due to the civil unrest caused by the Ukrainian revolution. He moved to Kazakhstan on 23 June, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with Kairat.
On 1 April 2016, after three seasons of irregular playing time, Riera left the Almaty Central Stadium.
