Ander Capa Rodríguez (born 8 February 1992) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Athletic Bilbao as a right back or a winger.

He played mainly with Eibar during his career, representing the club in all three major levels of Spanish football. During seven seasons, he played 214 competitive matches and scored 15 goals.[1]

Club career

Eibar

Capa was born in Portugalete, Biscay, Basque Country. He played youth football with local Danok Bat before signing for SD Eibar, making his senior debut in the 2011–12 season with the reserves in Tercera División.

In July 2012, Capa was promoted to the first team after appearing once with the main squad in 2011–12.[2] In the following campaign, he played 24 matches and scored five goals (adding 6/2 in the playoffs) as the Armeros returned to Segunda División after a four-year absence.[3]

Capa played in his professional match on 18 August 2013, starting in a 2–1 away win against Real Jaén.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 28 September, but in a 2–3 loss at Sporting de Gijón;[5] he appeared in a further 30 games while netting once[6] during the season, being promoted to La Liga for the first time ever.

Capa made his debut in the competition on 24 August, starting in a 1–0 home win against Real Sociedad.[7] He scored his first goal in the top flight on 8 December, netting his side's last in a 5–2 home routing of UD Almería.[8]

During the 2015 pre-season, Capa was converted into a right back by new manager José Luis Mendilibar.[9] On 19 November of that year, with the club still in the top level and him as an undisputed starter, he renewed his contract until 2018.[10]

Athletic Bilbao

On 1 September 2017, Capa agreed to join former youth club Athletic Bilbao for four years, with the deal being made effective in July 2018.[11]
