Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa has undertaken several player acquisitions to strengthen its squad for the upcoming Primera Federación campaign.

In early August, the club announced the signing of midfielder Álex Cardero on loan from Real Oviedo, alongside the addition of veteran left-back Carlos Pomares to reinforce the defense. Cardero, 22, brings experience from CD Mirandés and AEK Larnaca, while Pomares, a veteran with Segunda División experience at AD Alcorcón and CD Tenerife, signed a one-season contract with an optional extension.

Following these moves, the club secured winger Dani Queipo from Sporting de Gijón, a signing described as a “significant economic effort” and a “star addition.”

More recently, the club officially presented Hugo García, an attacking player joining on loan from SD Eibar. García cited the club’s sense of closeness and the confidence of sporting director Asier Goiria as key factors in his decision. During the presentation of the new signings, it was noted that Cardero is managing minor ankle discomfort, which is expected to affect his availability for an upcoming friendly against Atlético Astorga.
