Martí Riverola Bataller (born 26 January 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Italian club Foggia Calcio as a central midfielder.

Club career

Barcelona

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Riverola joined FC Barcelona's youth academy in 1999, aged just eight, and started his career as a forward, being reconverted into a midfielder for the 2004–05 season. In spite of this change he retained his goalscoring touch, being the under-19's second top scorer in 2010 with 13 goals.[1]

In late 2009, still registered with the juniors, Riverola made his debut for Barcelona's B-team, in a 2–0 away win against neighbours RCD Espanyol B.[2] The reserves eventually returned to the second division after 11 years, but the player only appeared once more in the league.[3]

In January 2011, Riverola joined Eredivisie club Vitesse Arnhem on a six-month-long loan, as the Dutch were managed by countryman Albert Ferrer, himself a former Barcelona player.[4] In July he returned to Barcelona and its reserves, alongside Isaac Cuenca,[5] and scored five goals in 32 games throughout the campaign[6][7][8][9][10] to help the B's finish eighth.

On 6 December 2011, Riverola made his first and only official appearance for the main squad, coming on as a substitute for Sergi Roberto in the dying minutes of a 4–0 home success over FC BATE Borisov for the UEFA Champions League.[11][12]

Bologna

On 7 June 2012, Riverola was presented as player of Italian side Bologna F.C. 1909,[13] having already agreed to a four-year contract in late January.[14][15] FIFA later ordered Bologna to pay Barcelona €535,000 as training compensation, although Riverola was a free agent.[16]

In August of the following year, he was loaned to RCD Mallorca in his country's second level[17] and, in January 2015, in the same predicament, joined SC Rheindorf Altach in the Austrian Football Bundesliga;[18] during his spell at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara he only appeared in three competitive games, his Serie A input consisting of 50 minutes in a 1–2 loss at A.C. Milan on 20 January 2013.[19]

Foggia

On 17 July 2015 Riverola was signed by Foggia Calcio in a 2-year contract.[20]
