Career

Early career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Madrid, Embarba finished his development with local Getafe CF after youth spells with neighbouring Real Madrid, RSD Alcalá and CD Leganés.[2] He made his senior debut in the 2011–12 season with CD Marchamalo in Castilla–La Mancha,[3] scoring six goals in the Tercera División.

Embarba signed with RCD Carabanchel in June 2012.[4]

In July 2013, Embarba joined Rayo Vallecano, being assigned to the reserves also in the fourth tier.[5] He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 30 August, coming off the bench for injured Iago Falque and playing 65 minutes in a 2–1 home defeat against Levante UD.[6]

On 12 June 2014, Embarba signed a new three-year deal with Rayo, being definitely promoted to the main squad.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 14 March of the following year, the last in the 3–1 win over Granada CF also at the Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas.[8]

Embarba contributed two goals in 28 appearances during the 2015–16 campaign, as the club suffered relegation. On 8 October 2017, he scored a brace in a 4–1 Segunda División home rout of Real Valladolid.[9]

On 19 December 2017, after establishing himself as a regular starter, Embarba renewed his contract until 2021.[10] He achieved promotion to the top flight in 2017–18, scoring eight times and adding 14 assists in the process.[11]

Espanyol

[edit | edit source]

Embarba transferred to RCD Espanyol on 23 January 2020, after his €10 million release clause was paid.[12] After being relegated in his first season, he helped his side to return to the main division in the second by scoring a career-best nine goals.[13][14]

Embarba featured much less in 2021–22 (also failing to find the net), mainly due to a run-in with manager Vicente Moreno early into the campaign.[14]

Almería

[edit | edit source]

On 24 August 2022, Embarba moved to UD Almería, newly promoted to the top tier.[15] He scored four goals and provided three assists in his debut campaign, with his team managing to stay afloat.[16]

On 26 July 2024, after suffering relegation, Embarba returned to Rayo after 11 years, agreeing to a one-year loan deal.[17]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Embarba's second cousin, Isaac, is also a footballer. A midfielder, he also played for Rayo.[18]
