Javi Galán, born 19 November 1994 (age 31), is a Spanish left-back at Celta Vigo, where he wears the number 22 shirt. A tidy, natural wide defender rather than a headline act, his career has been built through regular senior football in Spain.
His most productive league season came with Cordoba in 2016–17, when he scored two goals in 16 appearances. That remains the clear attacking high point in a career otherwise shaped more by his work on the left side than by numbers in the final third.
At Celta Vigo in 2026–27, Galán has made six LaLiga appearances and two in the Copa del Rey, giving him eight appearances in all competitions. It is a straightforward profile: an established Spanish full-back, still part of Celta’s first-team picture.
