Randy Nteka (born 6 December 1997) is a professional footballer who plays for La Liga club Rayo Vallecano. Mainly an attacking midfielder, he can also play as a forward. Born in France, he represents Angola internationally.
Born in Paris, Nteka left his hometown and joined Spanish side Betis San Isidro on a trial period in 2016, after having been called by an agent proposing a move to Madrid and trials with bigger clubs.[2] [3] He made his debut for the club during the 2016–17 season, scoring three goals in 13 appearances. While at Betis San Isidro, Nteka was left without a paycheck. Eventually, the club offered him 300 euros a month, and to justify the expense, had him take care of the training ground and clean the dressing room.[4]
In November 2017, Nteka joined Fuenlabrada and was initially assigned to the reserves in the regional leagues.[5] However, he never played for the B-team, being immediately included in Antonio Calderón's main squad and making his first-team debut on 7 January 2018, starting and scoring the opener in a 2–1 away defeat of Deportivo Fabril in the Segunda División B.[6]
Nteka renewed with Fuenla on 22 June 2018, after agreeing to a three-year deal.[7] He was a regular starter during the campaign, contributing with eight goals as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División for the first time ever.
Nteka made his professional debut on 17 August 2019, starting in a 2–0 away defeat of Elche CF.[8] He scored his first professional goal on 13 October, netting his team's only in a 2–1 away loss against Mirandés.
Nteka scored eight goals for Fuenla during the 2020–21 campaign, being the club's top goalscorer as they achieved a mid-table finish.
On 28 July 2021, Nteka signed a five-year contract with Rayo Vallecano, newly promoted to La Liga, along with teammate Pathé Ciss.[9] He made his top tier debut on 15 August, starting in a 3–0 loss at Sevilla.
On 29 August 2021, Nteka scored his first goal for Rayo against Granada in a 4–0 home victory.[10]
On 1 February 2023, Rayo announced the loan of Nteka to fellow top tier side Elche until the end of the season.[11]
Born in France, Nteka is of Angolan and DR Congolese descent. He made his debut for the Angola national team on 7 June 2024 in a World Cup qualifier against Eswatini at the Estádio 11 de Novembro. He played the full game as Angola won 1–0.[12]
