Hugo Rincón Lumbreras (born 27 January 2003) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a right-back for CD Mirandés, on loan from Athletic Bilbao.
Born in Valtierra, Navarre, Rincón began his career in the CA Osasuna youth system before joining Athletic Bilbao in 2018 at the age of 15, becoming the latest in a long list of players to make the switch from Pamplona to Biscay (the most recent involving another right back from the same district, Jesús Areso, one year earlier).
[3] He made his senior debut with the club's third-tier reserve team Bilbao Athletic in May 2021 in a Segunda División B fixture against CD Tudelano in which he conceded an early penalty but otherwise put in a strong display.
With the departure of the older Álvaro Núñez in the summer of 2022 (Areso had returned to Osasuna a year earlier), Rincón was installed as a regular for Bilbao Athletic in the 2022–23 Primera Federación season,[2] missing only one of the first 24 matches (due to a suspension following a red card) until he was injured against FC Barcelona Atlètic on 18 February 2023,[4] missing several weeks of action as the young squad struggled against relegation.
Despite this setback, due to his good performances and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the four more experienced men in his position (Óscar de Marcos, Iñigo Lekue, Ander Capa and Álex Petxarroman), it was reported in the local media that he would still take part in the next pre-season with the senior squad.
