Official: Kevin Rodrigues will play on loan at Rayo this season

Rayo Vallecano has made the signing of Kevin Rodrigues official this Wednesday, who will defend the Strip until the end of the season. The 27-year-old left-back follows in the footsteps of his teammate Martín Merquelanz and will also play on loan for Real Sociedad. It's more, barely 24 hours have passed since the officialization of one operation and the other.

Defender Kevin Rodrigues is international with the Portuguese national team And he has gone through French Toulouse (11-14) and Dijon (14-15) and signed for the Real Sociedad subsidiary in the summer of 2015. Eusebio made him debut with the first team against Real Madrid on January 29, 2017 and in 17-18 he made the final leap to the txuri-urdin team. Curiously, his first league goal was made to the madridistas in Anoeta.

The following campaigns had a more testimonial presence in the San Sebastian team, for which he made the decision to leave on loan to Leganés (19-20) and Eibar (20-21). Now he lands in Vallecas with the aim of offering his best version and dispute the position to Fran García. With both, Iraola would already close said demarcation. Kevin has become the fifth reinforcement of the rayistas in this market, after Balliu, Pathé Ciss, Randy Nteka and Merquelanz.
