Roberto Ibáñez Castro (born 22 March 1993), simply known as Robert, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CD Leganés, on loan from Valencia CF as a right winger.
Club career
Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, Robert joined Valencia CF's youth setup in 2000, aged seven. He made his senior debuts for the reserves in the 2010–11 season in Tercera División, and subsequently appeared regularly with the side in Segunda División B.[1]
In the 2014 summer, Robert was called up to the main squad by new manager Nuno Espírito Santo, also taking part of the club's Emirates Cup winning campaign.[2] He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 29 August 2014, coming on as a late substitute in a 3-0 home win against Málaga CF.[3]
On 16 January 2015 Robert was loaned to fellow league team Granada CF, until June.[4] On 25 January 2015 he scored his first professional goal, netting the last in a 2–2 home draw against Deportivo de La Coruña.[5]
On 13 July 2015 he returned to the Andalusians, in a season-long loan deal.[6] He would only appear in 18 matches during the campaign (seven starts), as his side avoided relegation.
On 31 August 2016 Ibáñez moved to fellow top tier CD Leganés, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal.[7]
