Biography


Born in Santander, Palazuelos began his career with hometown side Racing de Santander, but never made it past the reserves. Released in 2004 he spent his first professional seasons in Segunda División B, with UD Lanzarote and CF Palencia, before moving to Gimnástica de Torrelavega in 2006 (also in that level).

Palazuelos joined Greek side Aris Thessaloniki F.C. on loan for the 2006–07 season. In the following summer he signed for Heart of Midlothian after a protracted process on 31 July 2007, as the player reportedly paid for his release from his Gimnástica contract.

Palazuelos made his debut for the club in the 1–1 draw with Aberdeen at Pittodrie in August 2007, and scored his first goal for Hearts against Falkirk in a 1–2 away loss. He added another two in the 2008–09 campaign, against Motherwell in a win and at Rangers' Ibrox Stadium, in which he netted the final 2–2 equaliser.

In July 2012 Palazuelos signed for Bulgarian club PFC Botev Plovdiv, leaving in the following transfer window. On 5 April 2013 he switched teams and countries again, joining Finland's FC Honka; he made an immediate impact with the latter, being selected to the Team of the Month in the Veikkausliiga for the months of July and August.

On 18 February 2014, after being linked with a move back to Scotland with Partick Thistle, Palazuelos signed with Football League Championship side Yeovil Town until the end of the season. He was hampered by injury during his spell, his team suffered relegation and he was released in May.

On 30 January 2015, Palazuelos signed for Ross County.
