Juan Domínguez Lamas (born 8 January 1990) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central midfielder.

Club career

Deportivo

Domínguez was born in Pontedeume, Galicia.[2] He finished his youth career with Deportivo de La Coruña, and made his debut for the first team on 13 December 2009 by replacing club great Juan Carlos Valerón for the final 35 minutes of a 1–1 away draw against UD Almería.[3][4] He finished his first season with 13 La Liga appearances (eight starts, 744 minutes), helping them to the tenth position.[5][6]

On 25 November 2011, Domínguez scored his first professional goal, his side's second in the 3–1 home victory over the same opponents.[7] Roughly a month later, he renewed his contract until 2015.[8]

Domínguez helped Deportivo to achieve promotion from Segunda División in 2012 and 2014, contributing 74 games and eight goals in the process.[6] He scored his first goal in the top flight on 27 October 2012, in a 1–1 draw at RC Celta de Vigo.[9]

On 28 June 2016, having featured rarely during the season, Domínguez was loaned to RCD Mallorca of the second division.[10]

Reus

On 23 August 2017, Domínguez signed a three-year contract with fellow second-tier team CF Reus Deportiu after cutting ties with his parent club.[11] He scored twice[12][13] in 32 matches during the campaign as they finished in 14th place.[14][1]

Halfway through 2018–19, Domínguez and the rest of the squad left after it was expelled by the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional.[15][16]

Abroad

On 13 February 2019, the free agent Domínguez moved to the Austrian Football Bundesliga with SK Sturm Graz after agreeing to a one-and-a-half-year deal.[17] On 29 August 2020, he joined PAS Giannina F.C. of Super League Greece.[18]

Domínguez announced his retirement in April 2023, aged 33. He settled in A Coruña and removed himself from the football world.[19]
