Antonino Jastin López Garcia (born 15 January 2004), sometimes known as just Jastin, is a professional footballer who plays mainly as a left winger for Girona FC. Born in Spain, he represents Portugal at international level.

Club career

Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Jastin began his career with hometown side FIF Lleida at the age of four, and joined Lleida Esportiu's youth sides in 2018. In the following year, he moved to the youth categories of Girona FC.[1]

Jastin made his senior debut with the reserves on 18 September 2022, starting in a 2–0 Tercera Federación away loss to CE Europa.[2] On 11 August of the following year, after impressing with the first team in the pre-season, he renewed his contract with the Blanquivermells until 2027.[3]

After struggling with an ankle injury in September 2023, Jastin underwent surgery in October, being sidelined for nearly five months.[4] Fully recovered, he made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 9 March 2024, replacing Iván Martín late into a 2–0 home win over CA Osasuna.[5] [6]

International career

Jastin was born in Spain to a Cape-Verdean and Portuguese father and Spanish mother, and holds dual Spanish and Portuguese citizenship.[7] [8] In March 2024, Jastin was called up to the Portugal under-20 football team for two friendlies against Czech Republic and Denmark.[9]
