The agreement includes a purchase option for the Bermellones. Chetauya Donald, born in Murcia on 25 September 2000, brings a versatile profile and knowledge of the division. His arrival comes with the team sitting fifth in the Segunda División standings, just one point behind leaders Granada CF, after collecting six points from three matchdays.

John Chetauya Donald is a footballer developed in the youth academies of Villarreal CF and CD Roda. He boasts solid experience in the Segunda División, where he has played a total of 39 matches. Last season he wore the shirt of Elche CF, featuring in 23 games for them. His ability to perform in several defensive positions makes him a valuable resource for the manager.
His signing occurs during a period of good collective performance. RCD Mallorca have scored five goals and conceded only two so far in the championship, giving them a +3 goal difference. You can check the details of these and other statistics on our stats page.
How does he fit into the current squad?
The arrival of the defender from Murcia offers greater depth and options at the back. The team faces a busy schedule and having a player who knows the league is an advantage. His versatility allows coverage for absences or rotations in different positions along the defensive line.
This operation strengthens a squad that shows a record of two wins and one loss in its first three fixtures, with a recent run of win, loss, win. The complete squad is available for review in the squad section.
What is the team's next challenge?
RCD Mallorca's immediate focus is the match against Eldense, scheduled for next 5 September. The game will be played away against an opponent currently occupying 20th place in the table. A victory would allow the Bermellones to maintain pressure on the top spots in the standings.
