Enric Pujol Sevilla (born 19 May 2006) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a centre-back for Villarreal CF B.
Career
[edit]Born in Gandesa, Tarragona, Catalonia, Pujol played for hometown side CF Gandesa and Fundació FB Reus before joining the youth categories of Gimnàstic de Tarragona in 2023.[1] On 6 May 2025, while still a youth, he renewed his contract with the latter until 2027, being promoted straight to the first team ahead of the 2025–26 season.[2]
On 24 May 2025, before even having appeared with farm team, CF Pobla de Mafumet, Pujol made his first team debut by coming on as a second-half substitute for Antonio Leal in a 2–0 Primera Federación home win over CD Arenteiro.[3] Seven days later, he was given a starting spot in the first leg of the promotion play-offs semifinals against Real Murcia CF, as the match ended a 1–1 draw also at the Nou Estadi.[4]
Pujol became a first-choice under manager Luis César Sampedro during the remaining matches of the play-offs, overtaking Leal and Gorka Pérez in the pecking order,[5] as the club narrowly missed out promotion for a second consecutive year.[6]
On 20 August 2026, Pujol joined Villarreal CF on a three-year contract, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the third division,[7] for a rumoured fee of € 100,000 plus 30% over a future sale.[8]
