Raúl Alberto Salinas Dorantes (born October 16, 1978) is a Mexican footballer who currently plays for América in the Mexican First Division. His usual position is left wingback.
[edit] Career
Excluding a six-month loan to Pumas in 2006, Salinas had played his entire career for Club América until his transfer to Necaxa. Salinas made his professional debut on January 6, 2002 in a game against CF Pachuca. As a rookie, Salinas played in 20 games as his team conquered the Verano 2002 tournament. Salinas remained a regular in the América defense until an injury sidelined him during the Apertura 2003 tournament. The injury was a disheartening blow to the defender, who was never able to reclaim a regular spot in the starting lineup from there on out.
Salinas' lack of activity prompted a change of scenery prior to the Clausura 2006 season, with the defender being shipped crosstown to Pumas on a loan. After starting in the first four games, Salinas was relegated to the bench for most of the remaining part of the season; returning to América at the start of the Apertura 2006 season. He was transferred to Necaxa for the start of the 2007 Clausura championship.
