🚨Official: Javi Rueda signs new contract with Celta | OneFootball

Celta de Vigo has secured the continuity of one of its young talents. Full-back Javi Rueda has extended his contract with the Galician club until June 2029, ensuring that the promising defender will continue to wear the sky-blue badge for four more seasons.

Rueda, who arrived in Vigo in July 2023 after coming up through the youth academies of Málaga and Real Madrid, has established himself in the first team, reflecting the club's commitment to players with great potential.

Consolidation and Scoring Debut

Javi Rueda made his debut in the top tier of Spanish football with Celta on the final matchday of the 2023/2024 season, after an outstanding campaign with Celta Fortuna. After a loan spell at Albacete Balompié that allowed him to continue developing, he returned to stay with the first team.

This season has marked a milestone in his career, as he scored his first goal in the top flight against RCD Mallorca at Son Moix. Currently, the full-back has accumulated over 500 minutes between LaLiga and the Europa League, contributing three assists and one goal.

The Profile Everyone Is Looking For

The contract renewal ensures that coach Claudio Giráldez will continue to count on the qualities that define Rueda as a modern full-back: great physical presence, speed, and a remarkable ability to reach the byline. This new contract reinforces Celta's confidence in the young defender's upward trajectory.
