Yago Cantero Pérez (born 26 January 2000) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Segunda División club AD Ceuta FC.

Career

Born in Bera, Navarre, Cantero joined Real Sociedad's youth sides in 2012, aged 12.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 25 August 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 Tercera División home draw against Club Portugalete.

After establishing himself as a regular for the C's, Cantero first appeared with the reserves on 18 April 2021, replacing Robert Navarro late into a 3–2 Segunda División B home win over CD Tudelano.[2] He was definitely promoted to the B-side for the 2022–23 season, and renewed his contract until 2024 on 15 March 2023.[3]

Cantero became a regular starter for the B's in the following years, but suffered a knee injury in April 2024 which sidelined him for the remainder of the campaign. Despite being out of contract, he was kept at Sanse until his full recovery,[4] and signed for AD Ceuta FC also in the third division on 29 August.[5]

Cantero became a regular starter for the Caballas during the season, featuring in 35 matches overall and scoring twice as the club achieved promotion to Segunda División; one of his goals was the opener in a 2–1 away win over CF Fuenlabrada on 11 May 2025, which ensured the club's automatic promotion.[6][7]

Cantero made his professional debut on 15 August 2025, starting in a 3–0 away loss to Real Valladolid.[8]
