Introduction

Borja Iglesias Quintas (born 17 January 1993) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Celta de Vigo B as a striker.

Club career

Born in Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Galicia, Iglesias graduated from Villarreal CF's youth setup, after stints at La Roda CF and Valencia CF. He started his senior career in 2012, with the former's C-team in Tercera División.

Iglesias joined Celta de Vigo on 9 July 2013, signing a two-year deal with an option for a further three, and being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B. On 3 January 2015 he made his first team – and La Liga – debut, coming on as a 78th minute substitute for Santi Mina in a 0–1 away loss against Sevilla FC.

On 11 December 2016, after scoring a brace in a 2–3 away loss against Caudal Deportivo, Iglesias became Celta B's top goalscorer of all times with 53 goals, surpassing Goran Marić.
