Career
Damian moved on 11 July 2006 with his twin brother Yagó Bellón from FC St. Gallen to Aston Villa. On 7 July 2008, Bellón announced he was leaving Aston Villa to head to Liechtenstein to play for FC Vaduz of the Swiss Super League.[1]
Damian moved in July 2012 to Veria, a Greek team currently playing in the Greek Super League where he made seven appearances. He could not settle himself so, during the winter transfer window, on 31 January 2013 Damian Bellon joined Panetolikos on a 1.5-year contract. Panaitolikos is currently part of the Greek Football League[2]
On 25 January 2014 Bellon signed a 6-month contract going on loan to Aiginiakos.[3]
Bellón later moved to Thailand to play professionally with spells at Saraburi, Chiangmai before becoming the first team coach at Ranong United in Thai League 3 in October 2018.
He was appointed on April 19, 2021 as head coach for MOF Customs United.[4] after a successful first season on Thai League 2 with Ranong United.
Personal life
Bellón has represented Switzerland at both Under 17 and Under 19 level. He is of Spanish descent and is the twin brother of retired football player Yagó Bellón. After retirement from football, Yagó commented how their father was incredibly strict and had made him and Damian train in isolation daily from a young age to achieve a professional contract, to the detriment of their school work and social life.[5]
