Carlos Altés Alonso

Carlos Altés Alonso (3 September 1907 – unknown) was a Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder for Castellón and Espanyol.

Career Born on 3 September 1907 in Castellón de la Plana, Altés began his career at his hometown clubs Castàlia and Castellón in 1923, aged 16, playing for the former between 1924 and 1926 and for the latter between 1926 and 1928.

At Castellón, he worked under coach Jack Greenwell, who had previously led Barça and who was signed by Espanyol in 1928, where he strongly recommended the signing of Altés. Thus, Espanyol asked the Valencian Federation to cancel the contract that linked him to Castellón without contacting them, which caused Castellón to suspend Altés from employment and salary while awaiting the decision of the Federation, which ruled in favor of the Castalia club. Despite his short stay there, he featured in Espanyol's first-ever La Liga match on 10 February 1929, helping his side to a 3–2 victory over Real Unión.

After leaving Espanyol, Altés returned to Castellón (1929–30), but in 1930, he signed for Martinenc, where he remained for several seasons, until 1933, performing at a high level. Some sources state that he also played for Júpiter in the 1931–32 season. On 20 August 1933, he was the subject of a tribute match between Martinenc and the Catalan national team in Sant Martí, which ended in a 5–3 loss.
