Club career
Born in Valladolid, Castile and León, Spain, Zarandona spent the vast majority of his career in the lower leagues of that country, having a Segunda División stint with Real Valladolid in the 2004–05 season where he played less than half of the games.[1]
Rarely settling with a club, he also represented CF Extremadura, CD Ferriolense, RCD Mallorca B, Real Betis B, Caravaca CF, Rayo Vallecano, Zamora CF, Real Murcia Imperial, UD Los Palacios, UD Pájara Playas de Jandía, CD Leganés, Real Jaén,[2] CD Lugo, SD Noja and Burgos CF.[1] In the Segunda División B, he totalled 309 matches for several teams.[3]
International career
Zarandona played for the Spain under-18 team[4] but, in June 2003, FIFA allowed him to change his national association. This rule originally applied only for under-21 players not yet capped for senior sides, but FIFA also allowed overage ones to apply until December 2004.
Zarandona started representing his "new nation", Equatorial Guinea, in October 2003, in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification first round tie loss against Togo.[5]
Personal life
Zarandona's father was Basque, and his mother was from Equatorial Guinea. His older brother Benjamín successfully represented Valladolid, Real Betis and the Spain under-21 team, before switching to Equatorial Guinea at senior level.[6]
