Junior Firpo, whose full name is Héctor Junior Firpo Adames, is a left-back born in Santo Domingo and raised in Spain. He developed with Atlético Benamiel, CD Tiro Pichón and Puerto Malagueño before joining Real Betis’ academy in 2014 and reaching the first team in 2018. At Betis, Firpo established himself as an attack-minded full-back or wing-back, using his pace and forward runs in La Liga and the Europa League.
