Adrián "Adri" Embarba Blázquez (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈðɾjan ˈaðɾi emˈbaɾβa ˈβlaθkeθ];[lower-alpha 1] born 7 May 1992) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Rayo Vallecano as a right winger.

Club career

Born in Madrid, Embarba finished his formation with local Getafe CF, after youth spells with neighbouring Real Madrid and RSD Alcalá. He made his senior debuts in the 2011–12 season with CD Marchamalo in Castile-La Mancha,[1] scoring six goals in Tercera División; in July 2012, he signed with RCD Carabanchel.[2]

In July 2013, Embarba joined Rayo Vallecano, being assigned to the B-team also in the fourth level.[3] On 30 August he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, coming off the bench for injured Iago Falque and playing 65 minutes in a 1–2 home defeat against Levante UD.[4]

On 12 June 2014, Embarba signed a new three-year deal with Rayo, being definitely promoted to the main squad.[5] He scored his first professional goal on 14 March of the following year, netting the last in a 3–1 home win against Granada CF.[6]

Embarba contributed with two goals in 28 appearances during the 2015–16 campaign, as the club suffered relegation. On 8 October 2017, he scored a brace in a 4–1 Segunda División home routing of Real Valladolid.[7]

On 19 December 2017, after establishing himself as a regular starter, Embarba renewed his contract until 2021.[8]
