Another club captain and legend, Bruno Soriano has been instrumental in keeping Villareal in the Spanish top flight since their return in 2013.

The defensive midfielder spent much of his youth career at Villareal before transferring to the B team in 2004. He spent three years there, making 54 appearances and was eventually named as part of the first team squad for the 2006/07 season.

He quickly became a regular starter for the Yellow Submarine and by the 2009/10 season was considered as one of the most important players at the club. After the club's relegation to the Segunda Division in 2012, Soriano was offered the chance to remain in La Liga as Valencia tabled a €9 million offer for his services.

However, the Spaniard remained loyal to his boyhood club and stayed with them throughout the 2012/13 season, playing an instrumental role in helping Villareal achieve promotion back to La Liga.

Soriano spent last season on the sidelines due to a serious knee injury but is hoping to overcome the setback to play a key role in the Yellow Submarine's assault on Europe and challenge for a top 4 place in La Liga this season.
