Sergi Enrich Ametller (born 26 February 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for SD Huesca, on loan from Real Zaragoza.

He made 197 total appearances for Eibar, scoring 39 goals. In La Liga, he also represented Mallorca, where he started his career.

Club career

Mallorca

Enrich was born in Ciutadella de Menorca, Menorca, Balearic Islands.[2] A product of RCD Mallorca's youth ranks, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 24 January 2010, playing the last 22 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against RCD Espanyol after coming on as a substitute for Fernando Varela.[3] He spent the vast majority of his first professional season with the reserve team, in the Segunda División B.

Enrich spent the 2011–12 campaign on loan to Segunda División club Recreativo de Huelva.[4] The following year, he joined AD Alcorcón on the same basis.[5]

Numancia

In summer 2013, Enrich signed a two-year contract with CD Numancia still in the second tier.[6] He was the Segunda División Player of the Month in November of the following year as his five goals in four games took the Soria-based side out of the relegation places;[7] on 20 December of the following year, he contributed a brace to a 6–6 home draw against CD Lugo.[8]

Eibar

On 12 July 2015, Enrich moved to top-division SD Eibar after agreeing to a two-year deal.[9] He scored 11 goals during his second season, helping to a tenth-place finish.[10]

Enrich remained at the Basque club in the ensuing seasons, signing new contracts in February 2017[11] and May 2019, tying him to them until June 2022.[12] Due to a clause in his contract allowing him to leave Eibar in case of relegation, he ended his six-year stay in June 2021;[13] two months later, he was close to joining newly-relegated 2. Bundesliga team FC Schalke 04 in Germany, but the move was called off when fans rebelled over his criminal record.[14]

Ponferradina

On 22 September 2021, Enrich agreed to a deal at SD Ponferradina, recently returned to the second tier.[15] He contributed six goals and as many assists in his only campaign, and then turned down a new contract.[16]

Later career

Enrich continued to compete in division two subsequently, representing Real Oviedo,[17] Real Zaragoza[18] and SD Huesca.[19]

Personal life

In October 2016, Enrich and teammate Antonio Luna apologised when a sex tape involving them and a woman went viral on the Internet.[20] Due to the woman's lack of consent to the filming, the pair were given two-year prison sentences in January 2021, suspended due to their lack of prior criminal records.[21]
