5 best forwards above the age of 30

#3 Aritz Aduriz (35)

Aritz Aduriz is 35 years old now, and at an age where most footballers think about hanging up their boots, Aduriz is playing the best football of his career. Aduriz has played the majority of his career at Athletic Bilbao although he has played for a number of Spanish clubs such as Valladolid, Mallorca and Valencia.

After breaking into the first team of Bilbao at the age of 19, Aduriz had a decent spell at Valladolid. After 3 years there, he returned to Atheltic Bilbao, but failed to make much of an impression due to the emergence of Fernando Llorente.

He moved on from Athletic to Mallorca where he put in some solid performances without being too spectacular. He had a good time at Mallorca and a decent first season at Valencia which gave him his first international cap for Spain.

However, after an indifferent second season at Valencia, Aduriz came back to his childhood club Bilbao where he has been amazingly consistent, scoring important goals at crucial times. This season Aduriz has been in stunning form and is the third highest scoring Spaniard in La Liga (after Iago Aspas and Ruben Castro)

His good form has seen him become an important part of the Spain national squad and Bilbao and Spain fans will be hoping that the veteran striker keeps going strong for many more seasons.
