Diego Seoane Pérez (born 26 April 1988) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right-back.

Club career

Born in Ourense, Galicia, Seoane graduated from local Deportivo de La Coruña's youth academy, and made his senior debut while on loan to lowly SD Ciudad de Santiago in the 2007–08 season, in Tercera División. In the summer of 2008 he returned to Dépor, being immediately assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.

Seoane appeared in his first match as a professional on 27 January 2010, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 away win against Sevilla FC in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.{{cite news|url=http://www.marca.com/marcador/futbol/2009_10/copa/cuartos/vuelta/sev_dep/|title=Entrenamiento nocturno en el Pizjuán|trans-title=Night training at the Pizjuán|newspaper=Marca|first=Delfín|last=Melero|language=es|date=27 January 2010|access-date=26 July 2014}} He made his La Liga debut on 20 March, in a 0–2 home loss to Real Valladolid.{{cite news|url=http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2010/03/20/mas_futbol/1269039629_850215.html|title=Deportivo 0 Valladolid 2|newspaper=Diario AS|language=es|date=20 March 2010|access-date=26 July 2014}}

On 19 June 2010, Seoane signed a three-year professional contract with Deportivo.{{cite web|url=http://www.canaldeportivo.com/deportienda/deporsport/contenido/2010/06/19/5/3|title=Seoane firma su contrato profesional con el Depor|trans-title=Seoane signs his professional contract with Depor|publisher=Deportivo La Coruña|language=es|date=19 June 2010|access-date=26 July 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140726213322/http://www.canaldeportivo.com/deportienda/deporsport/contenido/2010/06/19/5/3|archive-date=26 July 2014}} He continued to appear regularly for the B team, however.

Seoane agreed to an extension on 29 January 2013, and was immediately loaned to Segunda División side Córdoba CF.{{cite news|url=http://www.marca.com/2013/01/29/futbol/equipos/deportivo/1359414364.html|title=Seoane renueva con el Dépor y se marcha cedido al Córdoba|trans-title=Seoane renews with Dépor and goes on loan to Córdoba|newspaper=Marca|language=es|date=29 January 2013|access-date=26 July 2014}} He started in 11 of his league appearances during his spell in Andalusia.

Having been the only member of the squad to not play in a competitive fixture during the campaign, Seoane was loaned to neighbouring CD Lugo of the second tier on 14 January 2015.{{cite news|url=http://www.marca.com/2015/01/14/futbol/equipos/lugo/1421245781.html?a=fe63d5e28912dfce224619ba8a5f6b98&t=1421348955|title=El Lugo consigue la cesión de Diego Seoane|trans-title=Lugo get loan of Diego Seoane|newspaper=Marca|language=es|date=14 January 2015|access-date=15 January 2015}} He cut ties with the former club on 20 July,{{cite web|url=http://canaldeportivo.com/servlet/es.iris.servlets.Noticias?accion=4&ver=1&nid=30649&mid=14|title=El Real Club Deportivo y Diego Seoane alcanzan un acuerdo para rescindir el contrato del jugador|trans-title=Real Club Deportivo and Diego Seoane reach agreement to terminate the player's contract|publisher=Deportivo La Coruña|language=es|date=20 July 2015|access-date=21 July 2015}} and moved to SD Ponferradina a day later.{{cite web|url=http://www.sdponferradina.com/-/ds-1|title=La SD Ponferradina alcanza un acuerdo con Diego Seoane|trans-title=SD Ponferradina reach agreement with Diego Seoane|publisher=SD Ponferradina|language=es|date=21 July 2015|access-date=21 July 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150723071324/http://www.sdponferradina.com/-/ds-1|archive-date=23 July 2015}}
