What happened with Juanjo?

Unfortunately he was never the same player after the injury he sustained when with us.

BRING JUANJO BACK

someone with pace, skill and a helluva lot of experience in getting the fans off their feet and cheering on the team.

from wikipedia.

John Robertson, then manager of Inverness Caledonian Thistle. offered him a return to Scotland in the summer of 2004.

Juanjo quickly made himself popular with the Inverness Caledonian Thistle fans. He was known as the Spanish wizard in their midfield, having both scored and created a large number of goals during the club's first Scottish Premier League season in 2004?05 adding a great deal of flair to the side's performances.

A ruptured achilles tendon injury received late in that season kept Juanjo from participating in Inverness's games in the early part of the following season. When he returned to fitness he expected to play a major part in the rest of the team's campaign. However, former player-manager Craig Brewster left the player out of favour. During the January transfer window the Spaniard was allowed to move to Hamilton Academical. on loan for the rest of the season.

He left Scottish football at the end of that season and joined Granada CF in Spain.

Juanjo trained with Ross County. in April 2008 with a view to having a trial to re-join Inverness Caledonian Thistle, but in July, Inverness decided not to offer Juanjo a contract

Sure I heard tonight that they are not offering him a contract and he is off back to Spain.........I don't blame him.

Barcelona or Dingwall? Barcelona or Dingwall?? Hmmm, tough choice...

Apparently County didn't offer Juanjo a contract due to the fact they thought they had a few similar players already, such as Hart.

He has changed his name to Filipe Morais and has appeared back in the Highland capital.
