David Costas Cordal (born 26 March 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Celta de Vigo as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Vigo, Galicia, Costas played youth football with hometown's Celta de Vigo.[1] On 25 August 2013, only two months after finishing his junior career[2] and without having appeared for the reserves, the 18-year-old made his first-team – and La Liga – debut for the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Augusto Fernández in the 77th minute of a 2–1 away win against Real Betis.[3]
On 31 August 2015, Costas renewed his contract until 2019, being immediately loaned out to RCD Mallorca.[4] On 14 January 2017 he joined fellow second tier club Real Oviedo, also on loan.[5]
On 31 August 2017, Costas extended his contract until 2020 and was immediately loaned to FC Barcelona B, for one year.[6] He played his first competitive match with the latter's first team on 29 November, replacing Gerard Piqué early into the second half of a 5–0 home win against Real Murcia for the season's Copa del Rey.[7]
