José Luis Gayà, the captain of Valencia CF, makes a major career milestone during the team’s game against UD Las Palmas, making it the 373rd time he is officially on the field playing for Valencia CF.
José Luis Gayà has moved to Valencia’s all-time top 10 appearance makers with this record, tying with Carlos Arroyo.
The player began his career at age 11 when he joined the VCF Academy. He continued to play an important role for VCF Mestalla before he featured in his first-team debut on October 30, 2012, in a Copa del Rey game the team played against UE Llagostera.
He has consistently been remarkable since he had his first debut. He became a regular in the team and was later made the club’s captain, which symbolises his loyalty and influence at Valencia CF.
José Luis Gayà became the second-youngest player in the history of Valencia to reach 350 official matches at age 28 and 289 days.
Just nine players who had played for the club have more appearances than Gayà, including legends like Dani Parejo, David Albelda, and Fernando Gómez Colomer.
Gayà’s dedication and consistency continue to write his name into Valencia CF history.
