    Miki Cantave has moved on a free transfer from the B team of Albacete, to the B team of Lorca. This is a lateral move, as both clubs just promoted their A teams to the Spanish 2nd division for this season. And both have their B team in 4th tier.

    He went on a free transfer on July 25. The team seems to be basically u-23 and as we stand, at 20, he's their youngest player. They play in the Murcia division, a small region but quite competitive for its size. Here's their schedule, from what I see they should aspire to make the promotion playoffs.

    IMO being at Albacete or Lorca is about the same, the former has more tradition, but Lorca has new owners, a Spanish group who bought it from former Chinese player Xu Genbao a few days before Cantave was picked up. Wish him the best of luck.

    That's his (and Cordova's and Boakai's) agent being quoted there. Might not be as far off as you think.

    Patryk Misik, Aparicio's teammate at Ordenes last season, is now unattached and looking for a new club. Acc to this Brazilian site from Toronto (thinks me), he is looking at offers from both Spain and North America for now.

    The story is from a week ago. Talks about representing Canada, most recently in Qatar, not getting called up ever by Poland in spite of playing there young, his time at Fury. Very positive attitude.

    Manu Aparicio has signed for Sam Piette's club, Izarra. In this Spanish site he appears in his Canada shirt
    http://www.lapreferente.com/J210826/sdc-ordenes/manny-aparicio.html
    I was a bit floored by this, first, since no one else saw it, it was announced June 16, and I missed it too. Second, he played for a team that was dead last in their group in Spanish 3rd, 4th tier, a division lower than Izarra´s 2B. So it is a huge step up for Manny, who is born 95 and hasn't turned 21 yet.

    That is right.
    The national federation controls the first three tiers, the Tercera's all pertain to an autonomous community (like CDN province). Manny was in the Tercera division from the region of Galicia, north-west, where Sam was too at Deportivo, and Fisk, and where Andrew Lebre will likely play this upcoming year with Ourense.
    There are four divisions of 2B, and it is officially pro. They have to redo the divisions each year to accomodate new teams, and travel problems (teams from the Canary Islands, Mallorca, or the African cities like Melilla). Izarra does not have its rivals or schedule yet. 
    After Tercera, every region decides how things are going to be, though usually there are 3 or four more tiers, with more and more divisions. I think 8 is the max in tiered, pro-rel Spanish football. In Spain, if you want to compete, you start a club, do the paperwork, and start in the bottom division, and all teams get in, they are obliged to let them in. There are hardly any private academies not in federated competition. You can also be an existing club and buy someone out, but only in Tercera and below.
    It is rare to be paid in Spain after 5th tier, and even fourth, Tercera, can be nominal at times, or players are coaching youth and the like.

    We are starting to get quite a few players in very modest lower divisions in Europe, starting to be a good wide base. Have to hope that some of them start to move up, though in these divisions it is pretty hard to go from a multi-division tier to a single national division, it is a big step up.
