Biel Farrés del Castillo (born 1 May 2002) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central defender for Girona FC B.

Club career[edit]

Born in Vic, Barcelona, Catalonia, Farrés joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in 2011, from hometown side Vic Riuprimer REFO FC.[1] He remained at the club until 2017,[2][3][4] and subsequently represented Club Gimnàstic Manresa[5] and CF Damm as a youth.

In July 2021, after finishing his formation, Farrés joined Girona FC and was assigned to the reserves in the Tercera División RFEF.[6] He made his senior debut on 5 September, starting in a 2–1 away win over CE L'Hospitalet.[7]

Farrés scored his first senior goal on 28 November 2021, netting the B's only goal in a 1–0 home success over FE Grama.[8] He made his first team debut the following 6 January, starting in a 1–0 home win over CA Osasuna in the season's Copa del Rey.[9][10]

On 25 July 2023, Farrés was loaned to Primera Federación side CE Sabadell FC, for one year.[11] He returned to Girona after just three months after failing to appear in any league match.

International career[edit]

Farrés was a part of the Catalan under-16 selection in 2017[12][13] and 2018.[5][14]
