Template:Spanish name Martí Riverola Bataller (born 26 January 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Mallorca on loan from Bologna F.C. 1909, as a central midfielder.

Club career

Barcelona

Born in Barcelona, Spain, Riverola joined FC Barcelona's youth academy in 1997, aged just six, and started his career as a forward, being reconverted into a midfielder for the 2004–05 season. In spite of this change he retained his goalscoring touch, being the under-19's second top scorer in 2010 with 13 goals.[1]

In late 2009, still registered with the junior side, Riverola made his debut for Barcelona's B-team, in a 2–0 win at neighbours RCD Espanyol B.[2] The reserves eventually returned to the second division after 11 years, but the player only appeared once more in the league.

In January 2011, Riverola joined Eredivisie side Vitesse on a six-month long loan, as the Dutch were managed by countryman Albert Ferrer, himself a former Barcelona player.[3] In June he returned to Barcelona and its reserves, alongside Isaac Cuenca,[4] and scored five goals in 32 games throughout the season to help the B's finish eighth.

On 7 December Riverola made his first official appearance for the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Sergi Roberto in the dying minutes of a 4–0 home success against FC BATE Borisov for the season's UEFA Champions League.[5][6]

Bologna

On 7 June 2012, Riverola was presented as player of Italian side Bologna F.C. 1909,[7] having already agreed to a four-year contract in late January.[8]
