Rafael González Rodríguez (born 13 February 1997), commonly known as Chuma, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Polish II liga club Wieczysta Kraków as a forward.[1]
Chuma was born in Seville, Andalusia, and was a Sevilla FC youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 3 May 2015, starting in a 2–1 Tercera División away win against Arcos CF, and scored his first goals seven days later by netting a brace in a 3–0 home defeat of CD Mairena.
On 27 July 2017, Chuma signed for UB Lebrijana also in the fourth division.[2] He made his debut for the club on 27 August, starting and scoring a hat-trick in a 4–3 win at CD Gerena.
On 31 January 2018, after scoring 13 goals in only 20 appearances, Chuma joined Córdoba CF and was assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[3] The transfer was declared void two days later,[4] but it was later authorized by the RFEF.
Chuma made his professional debut on 12 May 2019, coming on as a late substitute for Federico Piovaccari in a 0–1 Segunda División away loss against UD Las Palmas, which ensured his team's relegation.[5] On 18 July, he agreed to a two-year contract with Levante UD, being initially assigned to the reserves in division three.[6]
