Raúl Ruiz Matarín (born 25 March 1990), known simply as Raúl, is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Guijuelo as a right winger.
Club career
Raúl was born in Alicante, Valencian Community. After reaching the club's youth system at the age of 10[1] he was promoted to hometown Hércules CF's first team for the 2008–09 season, appearing sparingly – but scoring once – as it fell short of a La Liga promotion.
In the 2009 summer Raúl signed with Real Madrid, being immediately relocated to its reserve side.[2] On 1 February 2011 he was loaned out to Swedish club Halmstads BK, along with Castilla teammates Javi Hernández and José Zamora.[3]
In late January 2012 Raúl rescinded contract with Real Madrid, and signed until June 2013 with Albacete Balompié in the third division.[4] After a loan stint at UD San Sebastián de los Reyes, in the same category,[5] he featured more regularly during the 2013–14 campaign, which ended in promotion.
On 1 August 2014 Raúl joined CD Guijuelo, also in the third level.[6]
International career
In November 2008 Raúl was summoned by the Spanish under-21 team, appearing in a friendly with Portugal in Cartaxo. He came on as a substitute for Daniel Parejo in the 80th minute of a 1–4 loss.[7]
On 10 February 2009, also from the bench and in a friendly (he took the place of Fran Mérida at half-time), Raúl scored the third and final goal for the under-19s in a 3–0 win over England, in Bournemouth.[8]
