Club career

edit

Born in Santander, Cantabria, Laro was a youth product of CD Lugo. He made his official debut for the Galicians' main squad on 16 October 2013, while still a junior, replacing Víctor Marco in a 0–1 away loss against Recreativo de Huelva for the season's Copa del Rey.[1]

On 6 August 2014 Laro went on a trial at Burgos CF.[2] However, nothing came of it and he moved to Racing de Santander late in the month, being assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[3]

Laro scored his first goal for Racing B on 29 August 2014, netting the third of a 4–0 away routing over CD Bezana.[4] In September 2016, he was promoted to the first team in Segunda División B.[5]

On 30 December 2016, Laro moved to fellow league team Racing de Ferrol after cutting ties with the Verdiblancos.[6] The following 27 May, he joined Córdoba CF B still in the third division.[7]

Setién spent the next few years in the fourth tier, with UM Escobedo, UE Sant Andreu and SD Formentera.[8]

Personal life

Laro's father, Quique Setién, was also a footballer[2] and a midfielder, and later a manager of clubs including FC Barcelona. His grandfather José Antonio Lozano was also a footballer, and all of them represented Racing.[9]
