Joan Ángel Román Ollè, also known as Goku,[1][2] is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Polish club Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała as a left winger.

Club career[]

Early years[]

Born in Reus, Tarragona, Catalonia, Román began playing football with local UE Barri Santes Creus before joining the youth ranks of RCD Espanyol at the age of 10.[3] Six years later he signed for Manchester City, playing exclusively with the reserves during his spell and being called up once by the first team, in a 3–2 win against Sporting CP in the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League where he remained an unused substitute.[4]

Barcelona B[]

On 27 June 2012, Román returned to his homeland after signing a three-year contract with FC Barcelona B.[5] He made his professional debut on 8 September away to CD Guadalajara, replacing Sergio Araujo for the final 24 minutes of the 1–0 Segunda División win.[6] In his next game, on 13 October, again off the bench, he scored his first goal to conclude a 3–0 victory over Sporting de Gijón at the Mini Estadi;[7] he made 22 appearances in his first season, also netting on 13 January 2013 in a 4–2 home defeat of Xerez CD within a minute of entering the field of play.[8]

On 31 January 2014, after adding another couple of goals[9][10] in 16 second-tier matches over the first half of 2013–14, Román was loaned to La Liga side Villarreal CF for the remainder of the campaign.[11] Eight days later he made his debut in the latter competition, playing the final 28 minutes of a 4–2 away loss to Real Madrid in place of Moi Gómez.[12] His only other appearance was on 5 April, starting in a 1–0 defeat at Atlético Madrid.[13]

Román returned to his parent club for 2014–15, playing 32 games en route to an eventual relegation.[14] He totalled five goals over its course, including two on 23 May in a 4–2 away defeat against UD Las Palmas where he featured only 22 minutes.[15]

Braga[]

After his contract expired at Barcelona, Román moved to S.C. Braga in Portugal, signing a three-year deal on 28 June 2015.[16] He made his Primeira Liga debut on the first day of the season, scoring the winner in a 2–1 home win over C.D. Nacional seven minutes after coming on.[17]

After playing only six more games in any competition, Román was loaned to Nacional alongside teammate Rodrigo Pinho on 18 January 2016, until the end of the campaign.[18] In August, he moved to Śląsk Wrocław in Poland's Ekstraklasa on the same basis, for the full campaign.[19]

Later career[]

Román left Braga in January 2018, joining AEL Limassol until the end of the Cypriot First Division season.[20] Just over a year later, he was back in Poland's top flight with Miedź Legnica.[21] His contract ended following their relegation, and he signed for Panetolikos F.C. of Super League Greece in July 2019.[22]
