Raúl Goni Bayo (born 12 October 1988) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central defender.

Club career

Goni was born in Zaragoza, Aragon. A product of Real Zaragoza's youth ranks, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 31 October 2007 in a 1–0 away win against UD Almería,[1] but spent his first two professional seasons, however, mainly registered with the reserves.

In the 2010–11 campaign, Goni played with Real Madrid Castilla of Segunda División B on loan, being regularly used during his spell (20 games in the regular season plus one in the playoffs) and subsequently returning to Zaragoza.

International career

Goni won his only cap for the Spain under-21 side on 10 February 2009, featuring 21 minutes as a starter in a 1–1 friendly draw with Norway held in Cartagena.[2]
