David Fuster Torrijos (born 3 February 1982 in Oliva, Valencia) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Olympiacos F.C. of the Superleague Greece, as an attacking midfielder.Football career
Aged already 22, Fuster was signed from his hometown club by Villarreal CF, but spent four years exclusively with its reserves. In 2008, he was sold to neighbours Elche CF, with an option to rebuy afterwards.
After a solid 2008–09 in the second division – he was Elche's topscorer at 13, tied for 10th in the league – Fuster was rebought by Villarreal for a mere €500.000.[1] He received relative amount of playing time in his debut year, scoring his first goal for the club in the 3–2 defeat to Sevilla FC on 8 November 2009; on 2 January 2010, he added another, in the club's 1–1 draw at La Liga and UEFA Champions League champions FC Barcelona.
In late August 2010, 28-year old Fuster signed for Olympiacos F.C. in Greece for the amount of €1.500.000, rejoining former Villarreal acquaintances Ariel Ibagaza and Ernesto Valverde (manager).[2] In his first season, he won the league and reached the quarterfinals in the domestic cup, ranking third in the goal scorers' chart and leading the team in minutes played. On September 28, 2011 he scored his first ever goal in the UEFA Champions League against Arsenal F.C. in 2-1 away defeat.
