Francisco Javier Perez Paez, known as Javi Paez, is a Spanish central midfielder currently with Extremadura B, bringing creativity and experience to the engine room. At 40 years old, he is a veteran presence who began his career with his local club before embarking on a journey across Spain's lower leagues. His technical quality and vision from a deep-lying playmaker role earned him moves to progressively bigger clubs in the Segunda División B. He enjoyed a particularly fruitful spell at one club, where his pinpoint passing and set-piece delivery made him a fan favorite and a key architect of their attacking play. While major trophies were out of reach, his individual contribution was never in doubt. Paez is a midfielder who dictates tempo and loves to unlock defenses with a incisive through ball.
