Javier "Javi" Puado Díaz (born 25 May 1998) is a Spanish footballer who plays for RCD Espanyol as a forward.

Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Puado joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in 2014, from UE Cornellà.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 20 August 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 Segunda División B away draw against UE Llagostera.[2]

On 28 August 2016, in a 0–1 home loss against Valencia CF Mestalla, Puado suffered a knee injury which kept him sidelined for eight months.[3][4] He returned to action the following 14 May, playing the last 24 minutes and scoring his team's first in a 2–3 loss against CE Sabadell FC, with his side already relegated.[5]

On 21 June 2017, Puado renewed his contract until 2022.[6] The following 28 May, after scoring 12 goals and being a key unit in the B-side's return to the third level, he was promoted to the main squad in La Liga.[7]

On 18 August 2018, Puado made his first-team debut by replacing Pablo Piatti in a 1–1 away draw against Celta de Vigo.[8]

Personal life

Puado's father, Francisco, was also a footballer and a forward.[1] A CA Osasuna youth graduate, he spent the vast majority of his career in the third division.[9]
