Violeta García Quiles (born 10 December 1999) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward or left-back for Liga F club Real Sociedad. She has previously played for Real Betis and Alhama CF.

Youth career

[edit | edit source]

Quiles grew up in Cartagena, Spain, where she had her first taste of football at age 15 with FC Cartagena.[3] She then had a one-year stint with EF Dolerense before joining Alhama CF in 2016.[4] Quiles got off to a rocky start at Alhama, struggling to break into the squad and then tearing her ACL right as she began to find her footing.[5] She returned to the field after over a year of rehab[4] and played in 3 matches before the COVID-19 pandemic halted all football.[5][6]

Club career

Alhama CF

[edit | edit source]

At the age of 17, Quiles was officially promoted to the Alhama CF first team.[7] She played a key role in the club's 2022 promotion to the Spanish first division, recording 12 goals and 9 assists across the season.[7] One of Quiles' goals was scored against her future affiliate club, Real Betis B.[8] At the end of the season, Primera Federación recognized Quiles as the best player in the league's southern group.[6]

Real Betis

[edit | edit source]

Although Quiles had the option to play in Alhama CF's return season to the Spanish top division, she chose to enter Liga F by different means. On 6 July 2022, she signed for Liga F club Real Betis on a two-year deal.[9] It would be her first time leaving her hometown of Cartagena.[6] She made her Liga F debut on 17 September 2022, in a match against Levante Badalona.[10] In her first season with the team, Quiles not only had to adapt to a change in setting, but she also managed a transition from operating as a winger to a left-back.[6] From her new position on the backline, she helped Betis escape relegation for two years in a row.

In the 2022–24 season, Quiles had a run of good form in which she scored 3 goals at the tail end of the campaign to ensure Betis' maintained presence in Liga F.[1] Upon the expiry of her contract, she chose to depart from the club.[7] Across 55 matches, she had scored 4 goals and tallied 3 assists with Real Betis.[11]

Real Sociedad

[edit | edit source]

On 4 July 2024, Quiles signed a two-year contract with Real Sociedad, becoming the first player brought in by new manager José Luis Sánchez Vera (es).[7] After playing 11 matches in her first campaign with Real Sociedad, Quiles tore her ACL during a training session in February .[12] She subsequently underwent successful knee surgery, but was forced to miss the rest of the season.[13]
