Iván Villar Martínez (born 9 July 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Celta de Vigo as a goalkeeper.[1]
Club career
Villar was born in Aldán, Pontevedra, Galicia, and joined Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2008, from Rápido Bahía CF.[2] On 13 October 2013, he made his senior debut with the reserves at the age of just 16, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B home win against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[3]
On 4 September 2014, Villar extended his contract until 2019,[4] but only featured regularly for the B-side during the 2015–16 campaign. On 14 May 2017 he made his first team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 1–3 away loss to Deportivo Alavés.[5]
In July 2017, Villar was definitely promoted to the main squad after refusing to play with the B-team.[6] The following 25 January, he extended his contract until 2023 and was immediately loaned to fellow top tier team Levante UD, for six months.[7]
