Career

edit

Early career

edit

Born in Madrid, Embarba finished his development with local Getafe CF after youth spells with neighbouring Real Madrid, RSD Alcalá and CD Leganés. He made his senior debut in the 2011–12 season with CD Marchamalo in Castilla–La Mancha,[2] scoring six goals in the Tercera División.

Embarba signed with RCD Carabanchel in June 2012.[3]

Rayo Vallecano

In July 2013, Embarba joined Rayo Vallecano, being assigned to the reserves also in the fourth tier.[4] He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 30 August, coming off the bench for injured Iago Falque and playing 65 minutes in a 2–1 home defeat against Levante UD.[5]

On 12 June 2014, Embarba signed a new three-year deal with Rayo, being definitely promoted to the main squad.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 14 March of the following year, the last in the 3–1 win over Granada CF also at the Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas.[7]

Embarba contributed two goals in 28 appearances during the 2015–16 campaign, as the club suffered relegation. On 8 October 2017, he scored a brace in a 4–1 Segunda División home rout of Real Valladolid.[8]

On 19 December 2017, after establishing himself as a regular starter, Embarba renewed his contract until 2021.[9] He achieved promotion to the top flight in 2017–18, scoring eight times and adding 14 assists in the process.[10]

Espanyol

edit

Embarba transferred to RCD Espanyol on 23 January 2020, after his €10 million release clause was paid.[11] After being relegated in his first season, he helped his side to return to the main division in the second by scoring a career-best nine goals.[12][13]

Embarba featured much less in 2021–22 (also failing to find the net), mainly due to a run-in with manager Vicente Moreno early into the campaign.[13]

Almería

edit

On 24 August 2022, Embarba moved to UD Almería, newly-promoted to the top tier.[14] He scored four goals and provided three assists in his debut campaign, with his team managing to stay afloat.[15]

On 26 July 2024, after suffering relegation, Embarba returned to Rayo after 11 years, agreeing to a one-year loan deal.[16]

Personal life

edit

Embarba's cousin, Isaac, is also a footballer. A midfielder, he also played for Rayo.[17]
