David Prieto

Later career In July 2011, Prieto left Sevilla, signing for one year at neighbours Córdoba CF in division two. He was sent off twice during the season, including a sixth-minute red card on 14 January in a 2–1 loss at Real Murcia CF for fouling Cristian García in the penalty box.

At the end of his contract in Córdoba, Prieto returned to Xerez on a two-year deal with the option of a third in July 2012. The following 14 April, he received his marching orders late on in a 2–1 away defeat to Elche CF and kicked a dugout, breaking it; the campaign ended with relegation again.

In February 2014, Prieto joined CD Lugo on a free transfer to replace the late departure of Miguel Ángel Tena to Cádiz CF. Seven months later, he dropped back to the third tier for the first time since his Sevilla reserve days, at Murcia.

Having reached the play-offs in his one season at the Estadio Nueva Condomina, Prieto joined Atlético Baleares in July 2015. He signed a one-year deal with the club from Palma de Mallorca but stayed for two, qualifying for the post-season again in 2017 and scoring a late own goal in the second round against Albacete Balompié 11 June which qualified the opposition 3–2 on aggregate.

Remaining in the third division, Prieto signed to CD Mirandés for one year in July 2017. The team won their group before losing in the play-off semi-finals to Extremadura UD, and in February 2019 he moved to CF Fuenlabrada a month after severing his link.

After playing 12 games to help the Madrid outskirts side gain their first ever promotion to the second division, 36-year-old Prieto was given a new one-year contract in July. Three months later, he suffered a fractured jaw in a collision with the elbow of Sporting de Gijón's Nacho Méndez, sidelining him for at least a month.
