Marc Pedraza Sarto (born 6 February 1987 in Barcelona, Catalonia) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CE L'Hospitalet as a midfielder.

Football career

A product of local RCD Espanyol's youth ranks, Pedraza spent his first senior season with the B team, in Segunda División B, scoring ten goals but also being relegated. In the following year, he upgraded a division and was loaned to Deportivo Alavés, appearing sparingly as the Basque also dropped down a level.

Returning to Catalonia, Pedraza continued to be mainly associated with Espanyol's reserves. On 2 January 2010, he played his first and only La Liga match, replacing José María Callejón in the last minute of a 0–1 loss at Valencia CF.

In the 2010 summer, Pedraza was released by Espanyol but, in October, signed with another club in his native region, third division's CE L'Hospitalet.^[1]
