Javi Galán, born on 19 November 1994 (age 31), is a Spanish left-back with Celta Vigo. He is a steady, orthodox type of full-back rather than a player who invites much theatre, which is not always a bad thing.
His earlier senior career included Córdoba, where his most productive league season came in 2016-17, with two goals in 16 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his attacking output in the information available, though his trade has mainly been built on the left side of defence.
At Celta Vigo, Galán wears the number 22 shirt and remains part of the first-team picture. In 2026-27, he has made nine appearances across competitions, with seven in LaLiga and two in the Copa del Rey.
His career to this point is that of an established Spanish professional full-back, with Córdoba an important early step and Celta Vigo his current stage.
