Club career

edit

Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Guirado was an unsuccessful youth graduate at hometown club Málaga CF, going to play for two other clubs before completing his development.[4][5] He started his senior career in 2003 with CE Mataró (preseason games only),[6] moving to Catalonia neighbours CE Manresa in Tercera División shortly after[7] and returning to his native region after the year was over, signing for Córdoba CF in Segunda División.[8] During his spell in that tier he appeared in only nine games (out of 42) as the 2004–05 season ended in relegation, and represented mainly the B side in both the fourth division and the regional leagues.[9][10]

Following a brief loan spell with Atlético Madrid B in Segunda División B,[11] Guirado joined Deportivo de La Coruña for €50.000,[12] but only appeared officially for the reserves, also being loaned twice during the 2006–07 campaign, playing a combined 17 matches for UD Vecindario (second level)[5][13] and CD Lugo (third). He spent the following three seasons in division three with as many teams,[14][15] being relegated twice.

Guirado signed for fourth-tier club CD Ronda in early October 2010.[16] However, in the summer of 2011, he decided not to renew his contract in order to explore other possibilities, with scouts from China, Indonesia, Japan and the United Arab Emirates following his progress.[17]

On 13 August 2011, Guirado agreed to a deal with Global Cebu F.C. in the Philippines.[18] He was sent off in his first match against Philippine Army FC, and scored his first goal on 30 January 2012 in a 5–1 win over Manila Nomads FC.[19]

Guirado joined I-League side Salgaocar F.C. on 17 August 2012.[20] His one-year contract was terminated before the end of the year, due to poor performances and prolonged national team duties.[21] He made eight appearances and scored three goals during his tenure, between the league and the Federation Cup.[22]

In January 2015, Guirado moved to Udon Thani F.C. in the Thai Regional League Division 2.[23] Seven months later, he signed for Icelandic club Knattspyrnudeild UMFG.[24]

In late January 2017, Guirado signed with Italian amateurs A.C. Palazzolo.[25] In May of the following year, he joined Malaysia Super League side Negeri Sembilan FA.[26]

International career

edit

On 26 February 2011, it was reported that Guirado would join the Philippines national team due to his ancestry.[27] He made his debut in the 1–1 draw against Myanmar on 21 March, in the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup qualification tournament.[28]

On his third appearance, for the same competition, Guirado scored two goals in the second half of the 3–0 away win against Bangladesh.[29][30] In November 2017, after a four-year absence, he was recalled to the national team and included in the squad for the 2017 CTFA International Tournament in Taiwan,[31] netting once in the 3–1 victory over Laos.[32]

Guirado's older brother, Juan Luis, was also a footballer. A defender, he spent most of his career in amateur football, appearing in 104 games in the third division for six teams,[35] and also represented the Philippines internationally.
