Football career

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Betancor was noted as a 17-year-old at UD Vecindario, being called to the Canary Islands autonomous team and invited by Real Madrid to play in an international tournament with its youth side in April 2011.[1] In the 2011–12 season, Hércules CF director of football Sergio Fernández decided to sign the player for the club's youth system, and he immediately started appearing for the reserves in the regional leagues.

On 27 August 2011, first-team manager Juan Carlos Mandiá handed Betancor his professional debut, as he played injury time in a 2–0 home win against FC Cartagena for the Segunda División championship.[2][3] After his release, he competed solely in his country's lower leagues until 2018, which included two spells at CF Unión Viera.[4]

In early 2018, Betancor moved abroad and signed with modest Austrian side ATSV Stadl-Paura. In the ensuing off-season he joined SV Mattersburg also in the country,[5] making his first appearance in top-flight football on 11 August and scoring in the Bundesliga away fixture against TSV Hartberg (2–4 loss).[6] Betancor played only seven games for Mattersburg in the 2018/19 season, and was therefore loaned out to SK Vorwärts Steyr on 23 January 2019 for the rest of the season.[7]

In June 2019, Betancor joined SV Ried on a one-year contract.[8]
