Juan Antonio Delgado Baeza (born 5 March 1993) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as a winger or right-back for EFL Championship club Sheffield Wednesday and the Chile national team.[1]

Club career

Colo-Colo

Born in Chillán, Delgado made his first team debut for Colo-Colo at the age of 17 during the 2011 Torneo Apertura. After nearly 2 years playing mostly in the B-team, Delgado became a regular under Héctor Tapia's management, with the first main achievement of his being a goal in a 3–2 victory against the club's main rivals Universidad de Chile. Delgado retained protagonism during the 2014 Torneo Clausura where he played 14 games and scored two goals as Colo-Colo won the title.

Gimnàstic

On 5 August 2016, Delgado signed a four-year contract with Spanish Segunda División side Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[2]

Sheffield Wednesday

On 24 July 2023, he joined EFL Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.[3] He made his debut starting against Southampton on 4 August 2023.[4] He scored his maiden Wednesday goal a week later, getting the first goal in a 4-2 defeat against Hull City.[5] Whilst on international duty he returned to Sheffield Wednesday early to undergo hip surgery.[6][7]

International career

After playing the 2014 Toulon Tournament with the U-20 squad and showing good form in Colo-Colo, Delgado received his first call-up to the national squad for the friendlies against Mexico and Haiti. He made his debut against Mexico, playing a little over five minutes as a late substitute. Days later, he was a starter against Haiti, where he scored his first international goal in the 21st minute.
