Borislav Ivaylov Stankov (Bulgarian: Борислав Ивайлов Станков; born 5 May 2002), commonly known as Slavy, is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club SD Eibar. Born in Spain, he played for his country of birth at youth international level, before switching to represent Bulgaria.
Club career
[edit]Born in Huesca, Aragon, Slavy joined Real Valladolid's youth setup in 2019, after representing Valencia CF, SD Huesca, Real Zaragoza and CD Juventud de Huesca.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 12 January 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Carlos Doncel in a 2–2 Segunda División B away draw against CD Izarra.[2]
On 29 February 2020, Slavy renewed his contract until 2023,[3] but suffered a serious knee injury in June[4] which kept him sidelined for eight months.[5] On 12 April 2021, he further extended his link until 2024.[6]
Slavy scored his first senior goal on 18 September 2021, netting the B's first goal in a 2–2 home draw against UD San Sebastián de los Reyes in the Primera División RFEF.[7] He made his first team debut on 8 October, replacing fellow youth graduate Toni Villa in a 1–1 Segunda División home draw against Málaga CF.[8]
On 24 July 2023, Slavy was loaned to third division side Unionistas de Salamanca CF for the entire 2023–24 season.[9] After scoring 13 goals for the club in the campaign, the Pucelanos announced his departure on 4 July 2024, as his contract expired.[10]
On 10 July 2024, Slavy signed a two-year deal with SD Eibar in the second division.[11]
International career
[edit]Born in Spain, Slavy is of Bulgarian descent. He was a youth international for Spain, having represented the Spain U18s.[12] In February 2022, it was reported that Slavy would switch allegiance to Bulgaria.[13] On 15 March 2022 he received his first call-up for Bulgaria U21 for the UEFA Euro 2023 qualification matches against Netherlands and Wales on 25 and 29 March 2022.[14]
