Club career

Born in Alicante, Valencian Community, Belman joined Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2012, from Getafe CF.[1] Ahead of the 2017–18 season, he was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B,[2] and made his senior debut on 27 August 2017 by starting in a 3–0 away win against Coruxo FC.[3]

A regular starter in his first campaign, Belman subsequently lost his starting spot to Luca Zidane in his second, later regaining the first-choice after Luca departed. On 16 July 2019, he renewed his contract until 2021,[4] but suffered a knee injury the following February which ruled him out of the remainder of the season.[5]

On 25 September 2020, Belman agreed to a one-year contract with Segunda División side CF Fuenlabrada, after terminating his contract with Real Madrid.[6] He made his first team debut on 16 December, starting in a 1–0 away success over CD Atlético Baleares, for the season's Copa del Rey.[7]

Belman made his professional debut on 19 December 2020, playing the full 90 minutes of a 3–2 away win against RCD Mallorca.[8]

Personal life

Belman's father, José, was also a footballer and a goalkeeper. He notably represented Real Zaragoza and Portugal's C.D. Nacional.[9][10]
