Diego Ignacio Vela Vázquez (born 27 November 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Atlético Arteixo as a right winger.

Club career

[edit]

Born in A Coruña, Galicia, Vela joined the youth academy of local Deportivo de La Coruña at the age of 16, making his senior debut with the B team which competed in Tercera División and helping to promotion to Segunda División B in his first year. He signed a contract extension in July 2012, keeping him at the club for another season;[1] primarily a right winger, he spent much of 2012–13 as a right back.[2]

Vela moved to third-tier side Racing de Ferrol on 7 July 2013, after agreeing to a one-year deal as their first signing of the summer.[2] His first official match took place on 25 August, starting in a 1–1 away draw against CD Tropezón.[3] On 5 August 2014, he renewed his contract until June 2016.[4]

In June 2016, after 106 competitive appearances, Vela moved abroad and joined Diósgyőri VTK in the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[5] He first appeared in top-flight football on 23 July of that year, featuring 60 minutes in the 2–1 home win over Újpest FC.[6]

Vela returned to both Spain and his native region in late December 2019, signing for fourth division club Bergantiños FC after a trial period.[7] In summer 2021 he joined Racing Club Villalbés in the same league[8] but, later that year, transferred to amateurs Atlético Arteixo.[9]
