Danny Gabriel Carvajal Rodríguez (born 8 January 1989) is a Costa Rican footballer who plays for Spanish club Albacete Balompié as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in San Ramón, Carvajal was a Deportivo Saprissa youth graduate. He made his first team debut for Brujas F.C. on 6 December 2009 by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 away draw against A.D. Ramonense.

Carvajal started to appear more regularly during the 2010–11 season, contributing with 12 appearances. In July 2011, after leaving the club after the end of the campaign due to economic problems, he joined fellow league team A.D. San Carlos.

Carvajal was an undisputed starter for San Carlos during his two-year spell, and on 15 May 2013 he returned to Saprissa, now assigned to the first team. Initially a backup to Donny Grant and Luis Ernesto Michel in his first campaign, he subsequently became first-choice and featured regularly in the following three years.

On 29 June 2017, Carvajal moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Segunda División side Albacete Balompié and repeating the feat of compatriot Keylor Navas seven years later.
