Iván Villar Martínez (born 9 July 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for CD Leganés, on loan from RC Celta de Vigo.
Club career[]
Villar was born in Aldán, Pontevedra, Galicia, and joined RC Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2008, from Rápido Bahía CF.[2] On 13 October 2013, he made his senior debut with the reserves at the age of just 16, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B home win against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[3]
On 4 September 2014, Villar extended his contract until 2019,[4] but only featured regularly for the B side during the 2015–16 campaign. On 14 May 2017, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 3–1 away loss to Deportivo Alavés.[5]
In July 2017, Villar was definitely promoted to the main squad after refusing to play with the second team.[6] The following 25 January, he extended his contract until 2023 and was immediately loaned to fellow league club Levante UD for six months.[7][8]
At the start of the 2020–21 season, Villar was first choice under manager Óscar García, by virtue of being the club's only fit goalkeeper.[9] On 11 August 2021, he was loaned to Segunda División side CD Leganés for one year.[10]
