Carlos Menéndez Hevia (born 17 February 1987), commonly known as Carlinos, is a Spanish footballer who plays for L'Entregu CF as a winger.
Club career
Born in Noreña, Asturias, Carlinos graduated from Sporting de Gijón's youth setup, and made his debuts with the reserves, playing several seasons in Segunda División B and Tercera División. In the 2010 summer he signed a new deal, being promoted to the main squad; initially listed for loan, he failed to join any other club and was not registered for the forthcoming campaign.
On 26 January 2011, Carlinos was loaned to Real Unión in the third level, until June. He subsequently returned to Sporting, being again assigned to the B-side.
In June 2012, Carlinos left the Rojiblancos and moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Superleague Greece side Veria FC. He made his professional debut on 21 October, coming on as a substitute for Pantelis Kafes in a 0–3 away loss against Asteras Tripoli FC.
Having been rarely played, Carlinos subsequently returned to his homeland, joining fourth division's Condal Club in September 2013. On 28 November, he signed a short-term deal with Tarxien Rainbows F.C. in Malta.
