Danny Carvajal

Danny Gabriel Carvajal Rodriguez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈdani kaɾβaˈxal]; born 8 January 1989) is a Costa Rican footballer who plays for Japanese club FC Ryukyu as a goalkeeper. He was a Costa Rica national player for many championships.

Club Career

Born in San Ramon, Carvajal was a Deportivo Saprissa youth graduate. He made his first team debut for Brujas F.C. on 6 December 2009 by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 away draw against A.D. Ramonense.

Carvajal started to appear more regularly during the 2010–11 season, contributing with 12 appearances. In July 2011, after leaving the club after the end of the campaign due to economic problems, he joined fellow league team A.D. San Carlos.

Carvajal was an undisputed starter for San Carlos during his two-year spell, and on 15 May 2013 he returned to Saprissa, now assigned to the first team. Initially a backup to Donny Grant and Luis Ernesto Michel in his first campaign, he subsequently became first-choice and featured regularly in the following three years.

On 29 June 2017, Carvajal moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Segunda Division side Albacete Balompie and becoming the third Costa Rican goalkeeper to represent the club (after Luis Conejo and Keylor Navas). The following 16 January, however, he was loaned to Tokushima Vortis until the end of the year.
