Víctor Moya Martínez (born 10 June 1997), commonly known as Chuca, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Polish club Miedź Legnica.
Club career
[edit]Born in Jacarilla, Alicante, Valencian Community, Chuca was a Villarreal CF youth graduate.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 17 April 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–2 Segunda División B away loss against CD Eldense.[2]
Chuca scored his first senior goal in his debut for the C-team, netting his team's second in a 3–2 home win against CD Torrevieja in the Tercera División on 28 August 2016.[3] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 10 September of the following year, replacing fellow youth graduate Manu Trigueros in a 3–1 home win against Real Betis.[4]
On 23 July 2018, Chuca was loaned to Segunda División side Elche CF for one season.[5] The following 23 January, after being rarely used, his loan was cut short.[6]
On 31 July 2019, Chuca moved abroad for the first time in his career and signed for Polish Ekstraklasa side Wisła Kraków. On 27 August 2021, he moved to I liga team Miedź Legnica, and was regularly used in the club's promotion to the top tier at the end of the campaign.
On 14 July 2023, Chuca returned to his home country after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Racing de Ferrol, newly-promoted to the second tier.[7]
