Andrés José Túñez Arceo (born 15 March 1987) is a Venezuelan professional footballer who plays for Thai club Buriram United F.C. as a central defender.

Early years

Túñez was born in Caracas, Venezuela to José "Pepe" Túñez and Margarita Arceo, a family of Spanish immigrants from Galicia.[1] Aged 7, his family would return to their hometown of Bertamirans, Ames.

Club career

Túñez began playing football at Colegio La Salle primary school, in the nearby city of Santiago de Compostela. Three years later he continued his development by joining a football school – Escuela de Fútbol de Rosalia de Castro – where he would play in their youth teams for the following five years. After another youth spell at SD Compostela, he joined neighbours Celta de Vigo's Juvenil side.

In February 2010, following Jordi's transfer to FC Rubin Kazan, Túñez was promoted to the first team. He had spent nearly four seasons with the reserves in Segunda División B, and finished that campaign with 16 league appearances with the main squad, which competed in Segunda División.

Túñez contributed with 29 games (all starts) in 2011–12 as Celta returned to La Liga after an absence of five years. He scored his only goal of the season on 28 January 2012, in a 1–0 away win against Girona FC.[2]

Túñez played his first match in the Spanish top flight on 18 August 2012, starting in a 0–1 home loss to Málaga CF.[3]
