What happened?

Huesca officially announced the signing of Jimmy Suárez for the next two seasons, bolstering its squad as the Segunda División race reaches its climax. The midfielder, born in Oviedo in 1996, arrives from AEK Larnaca FC and signed his contract on July 12, 2026. His arrival comes while the club sits 20th with 38 points, after a recent run of 0‑W‑3‑D‑2‑L (DDLLD).

Why does it matter for the club?

The signing adds experience to a midfield that has shown defensive frailties, with 63 goals conceded and only 41 scored this season. Jimmy Suárez, a Real Oviedo academy product who debuted in the top flight in 2018/19, will bring leadership; he captained his previous side and knows the pressure of a survival battle. His arrival coincides with the need to narrow the 44‑point gap to leaders Racing Santander.

How does he fit the blue‑and‑red project?

Huesca's manager, Luis García, has said the team's tactical vision requires a midfielder who can link defense and attack without losing tempo. Suárez, with two standout seasons in Oviedo's reserve team and international experience in Cyprus, matches that profile. Moreover, his ability to play both a holding and a distributing role will let García vary the formation without sacrificing stability.

What’s next for Huesca?

The next test will be the match against Córdoba, which ended 1‑1 on May 31, 2026, now replayed at El Alcoraz. With Suárez in the squad, the club hopes to improve its form and climb out of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, the board continues to assess further reinforcement options before the transfer window closes. Fans are eager to see the new midfielder adapt quickly and deliver a tangible boost in results.
