Football career

Early years / Getafe

Paredes was born in Oviedo. After starting playing football at hometown Asturias club Real Oviedo and being relegated from the second division in the 2002–03 season, he left for two additional campaigns in Real Madrid's B-side, Real Madrid Castilla, with the team in the third level.

In 2005–06 Paredes joined another Madrid outfit, Getafe CF, and made his official – and La Liga – debut on 28 August 2005, in a 2–0 away win against Real Sociedad. He appeared in only seven games that season, barred by first-choice Mariano Pernía, but would be the undisputed starter in the following after the Argentine left for Atlético de Madrid.

Zaragoza

For the 2007–08 season Paredes signed with Aragon's Real Zaragoza, agreeing on a five-year deal.[1] Initially backing up Juanfran, he finished as first-choice as the team eventually got relegated; he was again starter in the following campaign, with the club immediately promoting back.

Pushed by new signing Ivan Obradović, Paredes featured in just 20 league matches in 2009–10, but was still the most utilized left-back as Zaragoza retained its top division status. In the summer he was deemed surplus to requirements by manager José Aurelio Gay, being limited to training. In early September 2010, during a training session, both got involved in a serious argument that nearly evolved to a physical confrontation;[2] subsequently the player was suspended by the club,[3] being reinstated – and inserted in the starting XI – in November, as Gay was sacked and replaced by Javier Aguirre.

In the following years, Paredes featured more often then not as a central defender.[4][5] Zaragoza returned to division two at the end of the 2012–13 season, and he was released by the club on 25 February 2014 alongside José María Movilla, finding about the news through the club's website.[6]

Albacete

In January 2015, after nearly one year without a club, Paredes signed for Albacete Balompié in the second tier.[7]
