Rafael Marcelo Delgado (born 13 January 1990) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Belgrano.[2]

Career[edit]

Delgado began with Rosario Central in 2011.[2][3] He scored on his professional career debut on 4 April, netting the opening goal in a 3–0 win over Ferro Carril Oeste in Primera B Nacional.[2] In his first three seasons, Delgado scored two goals in fifty-two matches including twenty-eight appearances during 2012–13 which ended with promotion to the Argentine Primera División.[2] He went onto score twice in forty-four games in the top-flight.[2] In January 2015, Delgado joined Estudiantes.[4] He made his debut on 9 March versus San Lorenzo, prior to making three further appearances during the 2015 Argentine Primera División campaign.[2]

On 1 July 2015, seven months after arriving, Delgado departed Estudiantes to sign for Defensa y Justicia.[5][6] He scored his first goal for Defensa in April 2016 during a 3–1 defeat to Atlético Tucumán.[2] After sixty-six appearances and one goal in his first four seasons with Defensa y Justicia, Delgado left the club on loan in February 2018 to join Categoría Primera A side Atlético Nacional.[7] Fourteen appearances in all competitions later, Delgado returned to Defensa y Justicia and subsequently made his 200th career appearance in the Primera División against Independiente on 24 August.[2]
