Kim Young-gyu (born 5 January 1995), commonly known as Kiu, is a South Korean footballer who plays for Spanish club UD Melilla on loan from UD Almería as a winger.

Football career

Kiu was born in Yeongju, and began his footballing career at local club Young In FBC. In 2010, aged 15, he signed for Real Madrid, but never appeared neither for its first team, nor for its youth setup. In January of the following year, he signed for second division's UD Almería,[1] after impressing with CF Palencia.[2]

Kiu was promoted to the reserves in the 2013 summer, and made his debut for the Andalusians' first team on 19 August, coming on as a late substitute for Fernando Soriano in a 2–3 La Liga home loss against Villarreal CF.[3] On 30 January 2015, after appearing rarely, he was loaned to Real Avilés also in Segunda División B, until June.[4]

On 26 July 2016, Kiu was loaned to fellow third tier club UD Melilla, for one year.[5]
