Ricardo Rodríguez Gil Carcedo (born 25 September 1997), commonly known as Riki, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Albacete Balompié.
Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Ricky represented Real Oviedo and Astur CF as a youth. He made his senior debut with the former's reserves during the 2015–16 campaign, in the Tercera División.
Riki subsequently served loan stints at CD Tineo[1] and Marino de Luanco[2] before joining Segunda División B side UP Langreo on a permanent deal on 11 July 2018.[3]
In February 2019, Riki agreed a pre-contract with former side Oviedo, effective as of 1 July; he was initially assigned back at the B-team, now in the third division.[4] He made his first team debut on 18 August, coming on as a late substitute for Alfredo Ortuño in a 2–3 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña in the Segunda División.[5]
Riki was definitely promoted to the main squad for the 2020–21 campaign, but moved out on loan to third division side Racing de Santander on 22 January 2021.[6] On 24 July, he moved to Burgos CF in the second tier, on a one-year loan deal.[7]
On 1 February 2022, Riki was loaned to Primera División RFEF side Albacete Balompié until June.[8] After the club's promotion to the second level, he signed a permanent deal after an obligatory buyout clause was activated; Oviedo also retained half of his economic rights.[9]
On 13 June 2023, after being a regular starter in Albas campaign as they missed out promotion in the play-offs, Riki renewed his link with the club until 2026.[10]
