Football career
Betis
A product of Real Betis' youth ranks, Cañas was born in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 3 May 2009, playing 83 minutes in a 0–2 home loss against Atlético Madrid.[2] The Andalusians were ultimately relegated at the season's end.
Cañas was definitely promoted to Betis' main squad for 2010–11. He contributed with 15 games during the campaign (only four starts however) as the Verdiblancos returned to the top flight after two years, as champions, being a first-team regular in the following two seasons.[3]
Swansea City
In April 2013, before the season in Spain was over, Cañas refused to renew his expiring contract with Betis, choosing instead to join Swansea City on a three-year contract.[4][5] He made his debut on 1 August, coming on as a late substitute in a 4–0 home victory over Malmö FF in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[6]
Espanyol
On 1 September 2014 Cañas returned to his country and its top division, joining RCD Espanyol on a three-year deal on a free transfer.[7]
Personal life
Cañas' uncle, Juan José, was also a footballer and a midfielder. He too spent most of his professional career with Betis.[8]
