Alberto "Berto" Cayarga Fernández (born 17 September 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Primera Federación club Deportivo La Coruña.

Club career

Born in Avilés, Asturias, Cayarga joined Sporting de Gijón's youth setup in 2014, after already making his senior debut with SD Llano 2000. In July 2015, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to Tercera División side UP Langreo for one year.[1]

Upon returning, Cayarga agreed to a two-year contract and was assigned to the reserves, now also in the fourth tier.[2] He helped the B-team in their promotion in his first season, and scored a career-best nine goals in his second, as his side missed out a second consecutive promotion in the play-offs.

On 7 August 2018, Cayarga signed a two-year deal with Segunda División B side Racing de Santander.[3] He was a first-choice for the Cantabrian side, which achieved promotion to Segunda División.

Cayarga made his professional debut on 17 August 2019, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Málaga CF.[4] The following 31 January, he terminated his contract with Racing,[5] and signed a six-month deal with third division side FC Cartagena, with option for a further year, just hours later.[6]

Cayarga scored his first professional goal on 6 February 2021, netting his team's second in a 2–0 home win over Real Oviedo.

On 3 January 2023, Cayarga joined Polish Ekstraklasa side Radomiak Radom on a deal until the end of the season with an extension option.[7] On 8 February that year, after just two league appearances, the option in his contract was exercised, tying Cayarga with the club until 2025.[8]

On 24 August 2023, after asking to be released from his contract so that he could return to Spain, Cayarga signed a two-year deal with Deportivo La Coruña.[9] [10]
