Career
[edit]Born in Nigrán, Pontevedra, Galicia, Kevin joined Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2009. On 14 February of the following year, he made his senior debut with the reserves at the age of just 16, coming on as a late substitute for Álex López in a 3–2 Segunda División B away loss against SD Eibar.
Kevin was definitely promoted to the B-team ahead of the 2012–13 campaign now in Tercera División, and contributed with 14 appearances as his side achieved immediate promotion back to the third division. On 28 June 2016, now already an undisputed starter, he renewed his contract until 2018.[1]
Kevin scored his first senior goal on 5 February 2017, netting the second in a 4–0 away routing of Pontevedra CF.[2] In July of the following year, he was definitely promoted to the main squad in La Liga, and extended his contract until 2023.[3]
Kevin made his professional debut on 2 October 2018, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Real Sociedad, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4] He remained mainly a backup option in the following seasons, becoming a team captain and renewing his contract until 2025 on 28 June 2023.[5]
On 28 August 2024, Kevin terminated his link with the Celestes,[6] and signed a two-year deal with Segunda División side Sporting de Gijón just hours later.[7]
