Club Deportivo Guadalajara is pleased to announce that it has reached a contract renewal agreement with its youth players Yael Padilla, Jesús Brígido and Raúl Martínez, who will remain linked to our institution until 2026.
This is a clear sign on part of the global mission of the sports project that Amaury Vergara has entrusted to Fernando Hierro, in addition to the evident confidence of Veljko Paunovic in the young players who have been pushing hard in the youth categories.
RAÚL MARTÍNEZ RUÍZ
He is a physically powerful central defender with great ball control. He has outstanding individual technique and in melee is quite effective.
"It is a dream come true, I have spoken with Amaury Vergara and Fernando Hierro and this is a big step, but I hope it is the first of many with this club. Now I have to keep putting in the effort, work and do everything that has brought me here, God willing I can achieve many things with Chivas".
JESÚS BRÍGIDO CHEN
He is an attacker of explosive conditions. He plays mainly on the wing, but can also play inside. He has spin, dribble and shows agility between the lines.
"Very happy and grateful for the opportunity that Chivas and the team's coaching staff, who have trusted me, have given to me. Now, as Fernando Hierro told me, I have already made the leap to the First Division and now comes the most difficult part, which is to stay there".
YAEL PADILLA SANDOVAL
He is a multi-purpose player who can adapt to the game plan, as he can play both inside and outside. One of his main virtues is his good ball striking and his effectiveness in front of goal.
"I've been dreaming about this since I was a kid, to be in the club I love and now to sign a contract, to be here for more years, I'm very happy. I have to take advantage of the opportunity and stay disciplined, it wasn't easy to get here and I appreciate living this".
