Rubén Epitié Dyowe Roig (born 5 February 1983), known as Epitié, is an Equatoguinean retired footballer who played as a forward.

Club career

Born in Manresa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Epitié played all of his senior career in Spain, but never appeared in higher than the third division.

He represented CE Manresa, FC Andorra, CD La Oliva, ACD San Marcial, CD Logroñés, Jerez Industrial CF, Algeciras CF, AD Mar Menor-San Javier, CF Peralada, UD Poblense, CD Binéfar, CF Vilanova (sharing teams with sibling Juan in the latter), CD Montcada, CF Igualada, UE Rubí, CE Europa and UE Castelldefels.

International career

As many players born in Spain (Benjamín Zarandona, Rodolfo Bodipo, Javier Balboa, etc.), Epitié chose to represent Equatorial Guinea through ancestry – his father hails from that country, while his mother is Spanish.

He made his senior debut in 2006.

Personal life

Epitié's older brother, Juan, is also a footballer – and a forward. He too spent most of his professional career in Spain, representing most notably Palamós CF, CD Castellón, Real Madrid Castilla and Deportivo Alavés.
