Miguel Ángel Moyà Rumbo (Spanish pronunciation: [miˈɣel ˈaŋxel moˈʝa]; born 2 April 1984) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Atlético Madrid as a goalkeeper.
He played 290 La Liga games during 12 seasons, representing in the competition Mallorca, Valencia, Getafe and Atlético Madrid.
At youth level, Moyà earned 38 caps for Spain.
Born in Binissalem, Majorca, Moyà made his professional debut with hometown RCD Mallorca on 29 August 2004 in a 0–1 home loss against Real Madrid, appearing in 32 La Liga games for a team that barely avoided relegation (17th). After backing up another youth system product, veteran Toni Prats, for two years, he became the undisputed starter.
From 2007 to 2009, however, Moyà struggled mightily with injuries, only appearing in thirteen matches for the Balearic Islands side in the latter season.
In late June 2009, Moyà agreed on a move to fellow top division club Valencia CF for about €5 million. On 5 August, in a 0–2 preseason defeat at Manchester United, he featured more than 30 minutes as central midfielder after all the replacements had been made by Unai Emery and an injury occurred; the score was then at 0–1.
