Baltasar Rigo Cifré (born 26 June 1985 in Campos, Majorca, Balearic Islands) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Llosetense as a central defender.

Football career

A product of local RCD Mallorca's youth ranks, Rigo made his senior debuts in the 2004–05 season in the third division, being relegated. After a second year, he signed for SD Huesca also in the third level, appearing in only two games as the Aragonese achieved a first-ever promotion to division two in 2008 (22 minutes of action).

In the 2009 summer, Rigo moved to the fourth division and joined UD Almería B on a free transfer, being an important defensive unit to help the club promote to the third tier for the first time. Subsequently, he was promoted to the first team by manager Juan Manuel Lillo,[1] also signing a professional contract.[2]

On 5 December 2010, Rigo made his debut for Almería's main squad, starting – but also conceding a penalty and being booked – in a 1–1 home draw against Real Zaragoza.[3] In the following transfer window, however, he left Andalusia and returned to Huesca.[4]
