Ibán Iyanga Travieso (born 2 June 1987), commonly known as Randy, is an Equatoguinean footballer who plays for Greek club Iraklis Psachna F.C. as a left winger but also as a right back.

Club career

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain to an Equatoguinean father and a Spanish mother, Randy made his professional debuts with local UD Las Palmas, playing once for the first team in the 2008–09 season, as it was in the second division. He spent the vast majority of his spell, however, mainly associated to the reserve side.

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 year with amateurs CA Ceuta, he signed for Moroccan club Moghreb Tétouan;[2] however, shortly after, he asked for the termination of his three-year contract due to personal reasons, and moved to Fokikos A.C. in the Football League (Greece).[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]
