Club career

Spain and Germany

[edit | edit source]

Born in Santander, Cantabria, Bedia was a product of his hometown club Racing de Santander's youth ranks, making his first-team (and La Liga) debut on 24 September 2008 by starting and playing the first half of a 2–0 away loss against Villarreal CF.[1] In a season where the main squad eventually escaped relegation while still having to appear in the UEFA Cup, he managed to take part in a further 16 competitive games, scoring goals against FC Honka and Real Murcia, the former in European competition.[2][3]

In January 2011, Bedia was loaned to UD Salamanca of the Segunda División,[4] totalling 1,119 minutes during his five-month spell but suffering relegation.[5] Subsequently, returned to Racing and the top flight, he met the same fate at the end of the campaign.[6]

Bedia continued in the second division the following years, with Hércules CF[7] and FC Barcelona Atlètic.[8][9] On 16 June 2014, both he and Barça B teammate Ilie Sánchez signed with TSV 1860 Munich of the German 2. Bundesliga.[10]

On 13 July 2015, Bedia signed a two-year deal with Real Oviedo, newly promoted to the second tier.[11] On 19 January 2017, he moved to Real Zaragoza in the same league.[12]

On 2 September 2017, Bedia joined Indian Super League franchise FC Goa on a two-year contract.[13] In his second season, he scored seven goals as the side reached the final; this put him fifth on the scoring charts led by his compatriot and teammate Coro.[14]

In June 2020, Bedia signed a new two-year deal.[15] He was appointed as captain ahead of that season,[16] and represented them in the 2021 edition of the AFC Champions League, scoring in a 2–1 defeat at Persepolis F.C. on 20 April; in the process, he became the first player to achieve this feat for an Indian club in the competition's group stage.[17][18]

Bedia appeared with his side in the 2021 Durand Cup: in the semi-finals, he was named player of the match as they defeated Bengaluru FC 7–6 in sudden death.[19] In the decisive game, against Mohammedan SC on 3 October, he scored the lone goal through an extra-time free kick.[20]

Gokulam Kerala

On 29 August 2023, I-League club Gokulam Kerala FC announced the signing of Bedia on a one-year contract.[21]
