Daniel "Dani" Raba Antolín (born 29 October 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger for CD Leganés.
Born in Santander, Cantabria, Raba joined Villarreal CF in July 2014 at the age of 19, from Club Bansander.[3] He was assigned to the C team, and made his senior debut on 30 August of that year by coming on as a substitute for Mario González and scoring in a 1–3 home loss against CD Castellón in the Tercera División.[4]
On 3 January 2016, Raba first appeared with the reserves by replacing Alfonso Pedraza in a 2–2 Segunda División B home draw with RCD Espanyol B. Definitely promoted to the B side ahead of the 2016–17 campaign, he scored his first goal for them on 28 August in a 1–1 home draw against CF Gavà, and renewed his contract on 4 June 2017.[5]
Raba made his first-team debut on 25 October 2017, replacing fellow youth graduate Leo Suárez in a 1–0 loss at SD Ponferradina in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[6] His first match in La Liga took place on 5 November, when he came in for Carlos Bacca late into a 2–0 home win over Málaga CF.[7]
On 23 November 2017, Raba scored his first professional goal, his team's first in a 3–2 victory against FC Astana in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[8] His first in the league arrived ten days later, but in a 3–1 away defeat to CD Leganés.[9]
On 5 August 2019, Raba joined recently relegated club SD Huesca on a season-long loan deal.[10] He returned to Villarreal in July 2020, but featured rarely until terminating his contract on 31 January 2022.[11] [12]
On 2 February 2022, Raba signed a short-term contract with Granada CF.[13] He totalled only 24 minutes during his spell, also being relegated from the top flight.[14]
On 24 June 2022, Raba agreed to a two-year deal at CD Leganés in the Segunda División.[15]
Raba's younger brother, Pablo, is also a footballer. A defender, he was developed at Racing de Santander.[16]
