Gabriel Eduardo Corozo Vásquez (born January 5, 1995) is an Ecuadorian footballer. Mainly a centre back, he can also play as a left back and defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Guayaquil, Corozo joined Academía Alfaro Moreno in 2005, aged ten.[1] In 2012, he moved to LDU Quito, in a season-long loan deal.

Corozo made his professional debut on 25 November 2012, replacing Ángel Cheme in the 79th minute of a 1–0 away win against CD Olmedo.[2] He appeared in two further matches during the campaign, and was later bought outright.

Corozo scored his first senior goal on 15 September 2013, netting his side's second in a 3–1 win at CSyD Macará.[3] He was an ever-present figure in the season, contributing with 40 appearances.

On 18 December 2013, Corozo signed a deal with Udinese Calcio.[4] On 25 July 2014 he and LDU teammate Kevin Mercado joined Granada CF, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[5]

On 11 August 2017, Corozo joined Elche CF, still in the third level.[6]

International career

Corozo has been called up by Ecuador national football team coach Reinaldo Rueda on a few occasions including Friendlies and CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers. He has yet to make his debut for the senior team.
