The Spanish football club CD Olot has confirmed the signing of 25-year-old forward Marc Tenas from Gimnàstica Segoviana, marking the fourth summer acquisition for the Segunda División RFEF side, according to club statements. Tenas, who stands at 1.83 meters, joins Olot after scoring four goals during the 2023-2024 season in Group 1 of the Segunda RFEF. The club described him as a “powerful physical forward” known for his work ethic and ambition, with a career trajectory that includes youth academies at Atlético de Madrid and Deportivo Alavés, where he made a brief first-team appearance.
Tenas, who began his career at CF Cornellà, also competed in the Primera RFEF with that club. His move to Olot comes ahead of a pre-season friendly against Nàstic, scheduled for August 1 at 19:00 CEST in Olot, Girona. The match serves as a key test for the newly assembled squad as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
What is known about Marc Tenas’ career?
According to records from the Spanish football federation (RFEF), Tenas has primarily featured in the lower tiers of Spanish football. During the 2023-2024 season, he scored four goals in 25 appearances for Gimnàstica Segoviana in the Segunda RFEF Group 1. His previous clubs include CD Alavés, where he made one senior appearance in a Copa del Rey match in 2022, and Atlético de Madrid’s youth system, where he trained before moving to Deportivo Alavés’ academy in 2019.
At Alavés, Tenas progressed through the reserves before earning a brief first-team call-up. His professional debut came on January 14, 2022, in a La Liga match against Celta Vigo, though he did not start. The club’s official website noted his “versatility in attack” and “strong physical presence” as key attributes during his time at the club.
Why does this signing matter for Olot?
Olot, competing in the Segunda División RFEF, has been actively reinforcing its squad ahead of the 2024-2025 season. The club’s sporting director, José Luis Martínez, stated in a press release that Tenas’ physicality and experience in the RFEF would “add depth to our attacking options.” The signing aligns with Olot’s strategy to strengthen its forward line, following the departures of key players in the summer transfer window.
The club’s financial disclosures indicate a budget increase compared to the previous season, which has enabled the acquisition of multiple players. Tenas’ contract, though undisclosed, is reportedly a two-year deal with an option for a third season. His arrival follows the signings of midfielder Álvaro Martín and defenders Pablo Sánchez and Iker Gómez, according to Olot’s official website.
