Iker Losada Aragunde (born 1 August 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Real Betis.

Club career

Celta

Losada was born in Catoira, Pontevedra, Galicia. A RC Celta de Vigo youth graduate, he made his senior debut with the reserves on 2 December 2018, coming on as a late substitute for Dani Vega in a 0–0 Segunda División B away draw against AD Unión Adarve.^[1]

Losada spent the 2019 pre-season with the first team, scoring a goal in a friendly match against 1. FC Union Berlin and becoming the first player of the 21st century to do so for the club.^[2] He made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 17 August; replacing fellow debutant Gabriel Fernández, he scored his team's only goal in a 1–3 home loss against Real Madrid.^[3]

Losada subsequently played almost exclusively for the B's in the third division and also in Primera Federación, and renewed his contract until 2025 on 11 May 2022.^[4] He left Celta after 11 years on 3 July 2023, after the club decided not to promote him to the main squad.^[5]

Racing Ferrol

On 5 July 2023, Losada signed for Racing de Ferrol, newly-promoted to Segunda División.^[6] An undisputed starter, he scored nine goals and provided seven assists during the season.^[7]

Betis

On 6 July 2024, Losada signed a five-year contract with Real Betis in the top tier.^[8]
