Rafael Obrador Burguera (born 24 February 2004[1]) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Deportivo de La Coruña, on loan from Real Madrid.
Club career
[edit]Mallorca
[edit]Born in Campos, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Obrador began playing football at the youth academy of CE Campos at the age of four, and joined RCD Mallorca's youth setup in 2014, aged ten.[2] On 10 October 2019, while still a youth, he signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a deal until 2024.[3]
On 19 July 2020, before even having appeared with the reserves, Obrador made his first team – and La Liga – debut for the Bermellones, coming on as a late substitute for Iddrisu Baba in a 2–2 away draw against CA Osasuna, as his side was already relegated.[4]
Real Madrid
[edit]On 5 October 2020, Obrador moved to Real Madrid and returned to youth football.[5] He finished his formation in 2022, being promoted to reserve team Real Madrid Castilla ahead of the 2022–23 season.
Obrador immediately became a starter for Raúl's side,[6] as Castilla narrowly missed out promotion.
Loan to Deportivo La Coruña
[edit]On 21 August 2024, Obrador was loaned to Segunda División side Deportivo de La Coruña, for one year.[7]
International career
[edit]Obrador represented the Spain under-16s in a 3–3 tie against Mexico on 4 December 2019, where he scored the equalizer.[8]
