Víctor Segura Abascal (born 30 March 1973) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender.

Club career

A product of Real Zaragoza's youth ranks, Zaragoza-born Segura made his senior debut in the 1990–91 season with its B team, in the Segunda División B. Released by the Aragonese without making any competitive appearances, his first club as a professional was Palamós CF of Segunda División.

After a solid 1993–94, Segura was signed by La Liga side CD Logroñés,[1] appearing regularly[2] but facing relegation in 1995 in what was his sole top-flight campaign – the Riojan team ranked last with an all-time low 13 points,[3] and he scored in a 4–2 home win against CD Tenerife where he was also sent off.[4] He then spent two seasons with UE Lleida also in the second division.[5]

Segura moved to England in 1997 with Norwich City, signed by manager Mike Walker on a Bosman transfer. His spell at Carrow Road was not a successful one, and he was released by Walker's successor Bruce Rioch two years later, having spent his final year majorly with the reserves.[6]

Segura retired at the end of 1999–2000, after just eight second-tier matches with Getafe CF. He was only 27.
