Iker Pozo La Rosa (born 6 August 2000) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Croatian Football League side HNK Šibenik.
Pozo's earliest football career was influenced by his older brother José Ángel's, as, when Real Madrid brought the older Pozo from UD Fuengirola Los Boliches, the entire family moved to Madrid, and Iker joined the Real Madrid academy.[1] Five years later, when José Ángel was snapped up by Manchester City, the younger Pozo, aged 11, followed him to the Manchester City academy.[1]
In the 2017/18 season he featured in the U19 team's UEFA Youth League run up to the semi-finals, featuring in 6 matches and gathering 2 assists.[2] He was also moved to the U23 team,[2] where he would feature for in the subsequent two seasons as well.
Pozo joined the Dutch second-tier side FC Eindhoven for a season-long loan in the summer of 2020. He quickly established himself as a starter at the club, playing mostly in a more forward central midfield role than the defensive one he played at City, resulting in his first three senior goals.[1]
In February 2022, Pozo was loaned to HNK Rijeka.[3] In the first week, before the official paperwork arrived, he impressed the staff at the club. On his first training session after the loan was officially finalized, however, he injured his knee.[3] After the magnetic resonance showed the injury was serious, his loan was canceled and he returned to Manchester, not having played a single official game for the club.[4]
In February 2023, Pozo joined HNK Šibenik.[4]
