Eduard "Edu" Oriol Gràcia (born 5 November 1986) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a winger.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Cambrils, Tarragona, Catalonia, Oriol started playing with amateurs CF Pobla de Mafumet, having a loan spell with CF Reus Deportiu whilst on contract with the former. In the 2008–09 season, still in his native region, he competed in the Segunda División B with UE Sant Andreu.[1]

Oriol moved to FC Barcelona in the summer of 2009, helping the reserves to return to Segunda División by appearing in 29 games and scoring three goals.[2] After once again featuring heavily for Barça B in the 2010–11 campaign,[1] as the team finished in third position – being however ineligible for playoff promotion – he signed for La Liga club Real Zaragoza for three years.[3]

Oriol made his debut in the top flight on 28 August 2011, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–6 home loss against Real Madrid.[4] He scored the first of his two goals in the competition on 29 April 2012, opening the 2–0 win over Athletic Bilbao also at the La Romareda;[5] the other came one week later, the only as the hosts defeated Levante UD.[6]

Oriol joined Azerbaijan Premier League's Khazar Lankaran FK in late August 2013 on a two-year contract.[7] following the Aragonese's relegation,[8] He won his first piece of silverware on 23 October, helping his new team to defeat Neftçi PFK in that year's Azerbaijan Supercup.[9]

On 13 January 2014, Oriol's contract with Khazar was cancelled by mutual consent, after he failed to settle in Azerbaijan.[10] The following day, he penned a two-year deal with AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division.[11]

On 18 August 2014, Oriol agreed to a one-year contract with the option of a further year with Football League Championship side Blackpool, linking up with his twin brother Joan.[12] His contract was terminated by mutual consent on 12 January 2015,[13] and he moved to the Romanian Liga I with FC Rapid București.[14]

Oriol subsequently returned to his homeland and its second tier, featuring rarely for UE Llagostera[15] and CD Tenerife.[16] In late November 2017, the 31-year-old signed with amateurs UD Ibiza,[17] leaving at the end of the season.[18]

In August 2018, Oriol joined third-division club Atlético Sanluqueño CF; upon arriving, he labelled his former Blackpool manager Lee Clark a "racist".[19][20] He equalled a career-best six goals in his debut campaign,[21] and was eventually named captain.[22]

Personal life

[edit]

Oriol's twin brother, Joan, was also a footballer. A defender, he shared teams with his sibling on several occasions.[23]
