Cedrick Mabwati Gerard (born 8 March 1992 in Kinshasa), simply known as Cedrick, is a Congolese professional footballer who plays for Real Betis in Spain, as a winger.
Club career
Cedrick arrived in Spain in his early teens, moving with his family from Cameroon, and joined Atlético de Madrid's youth system at the age of 13. Only three years later he made his senior debuts, going on to spend two full seasons with the B-team in the third division.
On 6 January 2010, not yet aged 18, Cedrick made his first-team debut with the Colchoneros, against Recreativo de Huelva for the season's Copa del Rey: after committing a penalty in the early minutes of the game, he was replaced shortly after by manager Quique Flores in an eventual 0–3 away loss (5–4 aggregate win).[1] In the ensuing summer he was loaned to CD Numancia in the second level, in a season-long move.[2]
During his three-year spell in Soria Cedrick was an automatic first-choice, scoring nine goals in his first season. On 10 June 2013 he bought out his contract with Numancia for a mere €1,20 and signed with Real Betis.[3]
International career
Aged only 17, Cedrick started appearing with the DR Congo under-20s.
