Four new players registered with Athletic senior squad

Álex Padilla, Alejandro Rego, Hugo Rincón and Beñat Gerenabarrena have been assigned as Athletic Club first-team players for the 2026/27 campaign.

The four footballers will be registered with the senior squad and given first-team shirt numbers for the new season.

Padilla and Rego were already part of the senior-team dynamic last season and have now been assigned first-team shirt numbers, whilst Rincón and Gerenabarrena return to Athletic after spending the 2025/26 campaign away on loan. 

What's more, Peio Canales (who is still an Under-23 player) will form part of the first team but with a Bilbao Athletic contract.
