Iván Iyanga Travieso (born 2 June 1987 in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain), commonly known as Randy, is an Equatoguinean footballer who plays for Fokikos in Greek Second Division, as a left winger.

Club career

As a professional,after getting scouted by Scottish scout Alex Mclaren, Randy made his debuts for local side UD Las Palmas, playing once for the first team in the 2008–09 season, as the Canary Islands side was in the second division. He spent the vast majority of his first three seasons as a senior with the reserve squad.

In the following summer, Randy served a season-long loan at CD Mirandés, in the third level.[1] In 2013, after only nine league appearances in two seasons combined and one season with amateurs Club Atlético de Ceuta, he joined Moroccan side Moghreb Tétouan.[2] However, he asked for the termination of his three-year contract shortly after his incorporation, by not feeling comfortable there. Then, Randy moved to Greece, signing with AC Fokikos.[3]

International career

In July 2010, Randy received his first call for the Equatoguinean national team, for a friendly match against Morocco on 11 August.[4] However, he rejected the call to concentrate on club duties with Las Palmas' first team.

Randy's international debut came on 12 October 2010, in a 0–2 friendly loss with Botswana in Malabo.[5]
