Rufino Segovia del Burgo (born 1 March 1985), known simply as Rufino, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Malaysian club Selangor FA as a forward.
Club career
Born in Madrid, Rufino made his professional debut with hometown's Rayo Vallecano, first appearing with the first team in the 2004–05 season as they competed in the third division. He then moved to neighbours Atlético Madrid, where he would spend the vast majority of his spell with the reserves; this also included a short loan at Albacete Balompié (second level, no appearances).
Rufino's La Liga output would consist of two matches: on 22 April 2006, he replaced fellow youth graduate Manu del Moral for the final 20 minutes of a 1–0 win at Deportivo Alavés.[1] Almost one year later, he played roughly the same amount of time in a 0–0 home draw against Real Betis.[2]
Released in summer 2007, Rufino took his game to division three, consecutively with Real Valladolid B, Águilas CF, UD Melilla and CD Toledo. In July 2011, after one year in Hungary, he returned to his country and signed for Burgos CF of the same tier.[3]
Rufino spent the vast majority of the following seasons in the third division, also helping the club he represented mostly during this timeframe, CD Toledo, promote from the fourth in 2013.[4][5][6] In 2015 he returned to top-flight football, sharing teams with two compatriots at ACS Poli Timișoara in the Romanian Liga I.
While playing for Selangor FA in the Malaysia Super League, Rufino was crowned top scorer of the 2018 season with 19 goals, adding the Best Foreign Player award. Just five matches into the following campaign, he injured his Achilles tendon and was sidelined for nine months; during this timeframe, he also lost his father (named Rufino as well).[7]
