Javier "Javi" Rubio Haro (born 12 May 1999) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a right back.
Club career[edit]
Born in Madrid, Rubio finished his formation with Rayo Vallecano. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 29 October 2017, playing the last seven minutes in a 1–0 Tercera División home win against CF San Agustín del Guadalix.[1]
Rubio scored his first senior goal on 24 March 2019, netting the opener in a 2–0 home success over Villaverde San Andrés.[2] In December, after being regularly called up by Paco Jémez to train with the first team, he suffered a knee injury which sidelined him for the remainder of the season.[3]
On 16 September 2020, Rubio signed for CD Leganés, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division.[4] Four days later he made his professional debut, starting in a 1–2 away loss against CD Lugo in the Segunda División.[5]
Rubio spent the entire 2022–23 season nursing another knee injury, and announced his retirement at the age of 24 on 31 October 2023.[6]
