Iker Losada Aragunde (born 1 August 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Real Betis.
Club career
Celta
Losada was born in Catoira, Pontevedra, Galicia. A RC Celta de Vigo youth graduate, he made his senior debut with the reserves on 2 December 2018, coming on as a late substitute for Dani Vega in a 0–0 Segunda División B away draw against AD Unión Adarve.[1]
Losada spent the 2019 pre-season with the first team, scoring a goal in a friendly match against 1. FC Union Berlin and becoming the first player of the 21st century to do so for the club.[2] He made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 17 August; replacing fellow debutant Gabriel Fernández, he scored his team's only goal in a 1–3 home loss against Real Madrid.[3]
Losada subsequently played almost exclusively for the B's in the third division and also in Primera Federación, and renewed his contract until 2025 on 11 May 2022.[4] He left Celta after 11 years on 3 July 2023, after the club decided not to promote him to the main squad.[5]
