Pau Cabanes de la Torre (born 17 February 2005) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward for CD Eldense.

Club career

Born in Burriana, Castellón, Valencian Community, Cabanes joined Villarreal CF's youth sides in 2019, from hometown side CD Burriana.[1] After alternating between the youth sides of the Yellow Submarine and CD Roda, he made his senior debut with the latter's first team on 12 March 2023, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 Tercera Federación away draw against FC Jove Español San Vicente.

Cabanes scored his first senior goal on 24 September 2023, netting Villarreal CF C's second in a 5–1 home routing of CD Acero.[2] The following 4 February, he scored a brace in a 4–3 home win over Atzeneta UE.[3]

Cabanes made his professional debut with the reserves on 20 May 2024, replacing Jorge Pascual late into a 2–2 home draw against Albacete Balompié in the Segunda División.[4][5] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 30 September, replacing Ilias Akhomach in a 3–1 home win over UD Las Palmas.[6]

Cabanes scored his first goal in the top tier on 22 December 2024, netting his side's fifth in a 5–2 away win over CD Leganés. The following 31 January, he renewed his contract until 2028, being loaned to fellow top tier side Deportivo Alavés until June.[7]

Cabanes returned to the Yellow Submarine in July 2025, but suffered a knee injury in August,[8] which sidelined him for most of the season. On 5 August 2026, he signed a two-year contract with CD Eldense in the second division.[9]

International career

On 13 February 2024, Cabanes was called up to the Spain national under-19 team.[10]
