Borja Iglesias, born on 17 January 1993 (age 33), is a Spanish striker now with Celta Vigo, where he wears the number 7 shirt. His career has had its clearest early marker at Real Zaragoza, a loan spell that gave him proper senior weight rather than just promise.
The 2017-18 season at Zaragoza remains his most productive league campaign: 22 goals in 39 appearances. That return did not need much dressing up. It was the sort of year that pushes a forward from useful prospect into serious first-team consideration.
At Celta Vigo in 2026-27, Iglesias has made five appearances in all competitions and scored twice, both goals coming in the Copa del Rey. He has also featured twice in LaLiga and once in the Europa League.
Iglesias is an established Spanish centre-forward whose career has been shaped by a strong developmental spell at Zaragoza and a later place in Celta Vigo’s first-team squad. His recent contribution has come more clearly in cup football than in the league.
