SUMMER UPDATE.
SUMMER UPDATE, 30th June 2016.
U.D.Lanzarote failed in their bid for promotion to Segunda B (League 1) but still managed to finish in second place for the second consecutive year.
Manager Adolfo Pérez has not put pen to paper as yet to continue as Rojillos manager however the signs look good that he will extend his contract for at least another season.
Central midfielder and Lanzarote Legend Oscar Vladimir (Vladi) has decided to hang up his boots with Lanzarote though he may continue in his local town of Haría in lower levels of regional football.
Oscar Vladimir announcing his retirement from Spanish Third Division football. He will always be remembered in local folklore history by famously scoring the equalising goal against the mighty Real Madrid in the Copa Del Rey. All the very best to you Vladi.
All players are currently in talks with the club to continue wearing the red and blue of Lanzarote. Club captain and ladies heartthrob Rosmen has still to decide whether he will continue or retire from football. I know all you girls will be urging him to carry on.

The club are in talks with Segunda B (League 1) striker Dani López. The 27 year old centre forward is a certainty to score goals. Over the past few seasons he has always been in the top three fighting for the “Pichichi” award (Top leading goalscorer).
Lanzarote’s central midfielder Brad Cockerill is regaining his fitness following his cruciate ligament operation and is set to return for pre season which is due to begin around the 20th July. You can come and see Brad throughout the summer at U.D.Lanzarote’s stall at Teguise market on Sunday’s and Puerto Del Carmen market on Friday’s, both from 10am until 2pm.
