Rayo, who played on loan with third division team Villajoyosa over the last two seasons (read more here), has signed a two-year contract and is the first signing of Barcelona B.
The club's official website describes Rayo as a left footed player who can play both on the wing as in centre midfield. In the 4-3-3 system that Barcelona B will play he could play as left or right wing attacker or as left attacking midfielder. His first quality is his good passing. Last season he scored five goals.
Barcelona B assistant coach Joan Barbarà (picture, on the left) describes Rayo as follows: "It's a very interesting player who we are already monitoring for a while. We had scouting reports that recommended his transfer. He plays as left wing attacker, which was a position we wanted to strengthen.
It's a very fast and handy player, very good in one-on-one situations. He could play in midfield but he's basically more a left winger. We also took into account his experience in the third division. We're very satisfied with his transfer and he looks very motivated to make something of it."

Note: if Barbara says that they needed someone for the left wing attacker spot, would that mean that Gai (who played there last season, if I'm not mistaken) will be promoted in the end?
The name of the team is Barca Athletic now, maybe you should start writing him in that way
It's even "Atlètic", but until they start the pre-season, I'll keep the old way.
