Baltasar Rigo Cifré (born 26 June 1985) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central defender for Tercera Federación club CE Campos.
Club career
Rigo was born in Campos, Mallorca, Balearic Islands. A product of local RCD Mallorca's youth ranks, he made his senior debut in the 2004–05 season in the Segunda División B, being relegated. After a second year, he signed for SD Huesca in the same league, appearing in only two matches as the Aragonese club achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División in 2008 (22 minutes of action).
In the summer of 2009, Rigo moved to Tercera División with UD Almería B on a free transfer, being an important defensive unit to help them promote to the third tier for the first time.[1] Subsequently, he was promoted to the main squad by manager Juan Manuel Lillo,[2] also signing a professional contract.[3]
On 5 December 2010, Rigo made his debut for Almería's first team, starting – but also conceding a penalty and being booked – in a 1–1 home draw against Real Zaragoza for his only La Liga appearance.[4][5] In the following transfer window, however, he left Andalusia and returned to Huesca.[6]
Rigo joined fellow second-division Girona FC on 5 July 2011.[7] He scored his only goal as a professional on 26 August, but in a 1–4 home loss to Elche CF.[8]
