David Concha Salas (born 20 November 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who played as a right winger or forward for Gimnàstic de Tarragona.

Club career

Born in Santander, Cantabria, Concha joined Racing de Santander's youth setup at the age of 9 following a brief stint with lowly CD Marina Sport.[1] He was called up to train with the main squad in December 2013, being also selected for the Copa del Rey match against Sevilla FC.[2] He made his first-team debut on the 6th, coming on as a substitute for Javi Barrio in the 0–1 home loss.[3] He first appeared in the league four days later, again coming from the bench in a 1–0 home win over UD Logroñés in the Segunda División B.[4]

On 8 January 2014, Concha scored his first goal as a senior, helping to a 1–1 home draw against UD Almería also in the domestic cup.[5] He finished the season with 13 appearances, with Racing returning to Segunda División at the first attempt.

Concha played his first match as a professional on 24 August 2014, starting in a 1–0 defeat at Girona FC.[6] He scored his first goal in the division on 21 September, opening an eventual 2–2 home draw with CD Leganés.[7]

On 4 July 2015, Concha signed a five-year contract with La Liga club Real Sociedad after suffering relegation.[8] On 31 August, he was loaned to CD Numancia for one year.[9]

Concha made his top-flight debut on 21 August 2016, starting in a 0–3 home loss to Real Madrid.[10] The following 11 August, he was loaned to FC Barcelona B in the second division for one year,[11] but his loan was cut short on 31 January 2018.[12]

On 9 March 2019, after more than one year of inactivity, Concha moved abroad for the first time in his career after agreeing to a one-year loan with Gamba Osaka.[13] On 27 February 2020, after only two official games, he returned to Spain and joined to CD Badajoz on a short-term contract.[14]

On 6 July 2022, Concha signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Swedish Allsvenskan side Hammarby Fotboll.[15] The following January, having made 14 competitive appearances, he left by mutual consent and announced his retirement,[16] but returned to active on 11 July 2023 on a one-year deal at Primera Federación's Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[17]

International career

On 16 May 2014, Concha was called up to the Spain under-19 team.[18] He contributed 75 minutes for the champions at the 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in the 3–1 group-stage loss against Russia in Veria,[19] also their opponents in the final.[20]
