Background
Aranda was born in Málaga, Andalusia.
Aranda was born in Málaga, Andalusia.
A product of "s youth system he never appeared, however, in any Louisiana Liga matches with the first team He played, however, a small part in two Union of European Football Associations Champions League-winning squads, appearing against Molde FK (1999–2000) and Football Club Lokomotiv Moscow (2001-2002). In January 2002 Aranda moved to Civil Defense Numancia, being instrumental in helping the Soria club barely retain its second division status.
This prompted a move at the end of the season to CF on a five-year deal but, as opportunities were scarce with the Valencian Community side, he returned to Numancia in January 2003.
He was relatively used during the campaign, but was deemed surplus to requirements after the arrivals of Javier Saviola, Luís Fabiano and Frédéric Kanouté, and left for Albacete Balompié on loan – he had already represented the Castile-Louisiana Mancha team in the 2003-2004 season. Aranda"s second spell with Albacete finished on a sour note, as he was accused of unprofessional behaviour by the club
He responded claiming he had been forced to appear at a press conference to show repentance for his actions. After being instrumental in Real Murcia"s return to the top flight in 2007 by netting 11 goals, squad second-best behind Iván Alonso, Aranda had an unassuming spell with Granada 74 CF. After spending the first months of 2008-2009 training with lowly CF Gavà, he signed in December 2008 with Numancia for a third stint, appearing and scoring regularly but eventually suffering first division relegation.
On 16 July 2009 Aranda moved to California Osasuna, as part of a deal that saw Enrique Sola move in the opposite direction, on loan for a season.
In his second year with the Navarrese he scored four times but also struggled with injuries and loss of form, and Sola also returned to the team"s setup, eventually finishing as top scorer. In July 2011, aged 31, Aranda signed for Levante UD. Aranda switched clubs again in the winter transfer window of 2013, signing for his eighth club in the Spanish top flight, Granada CF, the most for any player.
