Rubén Blanco Rodríguez (born 15 June 1993), simply known as Rubo Blanco is a Spanish footballer who plays for Cristo Atlético as a forward.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Madrid, Blanco graduated from the youth academy of CD Numancia and made his debut with the senior team in a 0–0 draw against FC Cartagena on 3 December 2011. On 3 August 2012, he was loaned out to Real Ávila CF.[1] After a stint with Deportivo Alavés B, Blanco joined Segunda División B club UP Langreo in 2014. After having contributed with 2 goals in eighteen matches, he stepped a division down and joined CD Tuilla in January 2015.[2]

On 14 July 2015, Blanco moved to fellow club SCR Peña Deportiva, after agreeing to a one-year deal.[3] In the subsequent years, he played for UC Ceares,[4] Atlético Tordesillas and SD Borja (scoring three goals in 12 appearances), before returning to Atlético Tordesillas on 23 January 2017 for personal reasons.[5]

On 22 August 2017, Blanco moved abroad and signed with Gibraltarian club Mons Calpe.[6] After scoring 15 goals in his first season at the club, he was signed by Europa.[7] However, after just 3 league games, Rubo left the club after being found guilty of irregular betting activities alongside a number of other Europa FC players. For his part, he was banned for 6 months by the Gibraltar Football Association.[8]
