Ricard Artero Ruiz (born 5 February 2003) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Girona FC.

Career

Born in La Bisbal d'Empordà, Girona, Catalonia, Artero represented Atlètic Bisbalenc and Girona FC as a youth. In July 2021, after finishing his formation, he signed a professional contract until 2026.

Artero made his senior debut with Girona's reserves on 5 September 2021, starting in a 2–1 Tercera División RFEF away win against CE L'Hospitalet.[1] He made his first-team debut on 4 November, coming on as a second-half substitute for Nahuel Bustos in a 3–1 home success over AD Alcorcón in the Segunda División.[2][3]

Artero made his La Liga debut on 17 February 2023, replacing Borja García late into a 6–2 home routing of UD Almería.[4] In May, he underwent surgery due to an ankle injury,[5] and spent the 2023–24 season recovering, only managing to feature in one match with the B's during the entire campaign.

In the following two seasons, Artero had setbacks of his ankle injury, but still renewed his contract until 2027 on 9 April 2025.[6] He returned to a first team call-up in April 2026, but did not feature in any match as the club suffered top tier relegation.[7]
