Oscar Padula Castro Rodríguez (born 28 November 1993) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a defender for Rocha.[1]

Early life and career

[edit]

Padula Castro's career began in his hometown with the local football club Tacuarembó.[1][2] His professional debut came on 13 October 2013 during a Segunda División defeat to Rocha, as he went on to make eleven more appearances in 2013–14 as they won the title to gain promotion to the Primera División.[1] In October 2013 he suffered a nasal bridge fissure and was not in a game with Tacuarembo.[3] He scored his first senior goal in a draw with Rampla Juniors on 23 November 2014.[1][4] They were relegated back down to tier two in 2014–15, with Padula Castro eventually leaving midway through 2015–16 to join Bolívar in January 2016.[1]

In January 2016, he arrived in La Paz to play the Copa Libertadores de América, meaning Bolivar's team had eight foreign players including him.[5] The hiring was seen as a surprise, with Oscar Padula as the last reinforcement hired by the team for the game.[6] e remained for twelve months but didn't feature in league football, though did appear in the Copa Libertadores versus Racing Club.[1][7][8]

In February 2017, Padula Castro completed a move back to Uruguay after agreeing a deal with Cerro Largo; having terminated his Bolívar contract.[1][8] Two goals, versus Oriental and Rentistas, in thirty-two appearances followed across two seasons in the Segunda División.[1] He was playing with Cerro Largo Fútbol Club in late 2017.[9] On 22 July 2018, Padula Castro joined Acassuso of Argentina's Primera B Metropolitana.[1][10] His first appearance came in a victory over Colegiales on 21 August.[1] In 2020, he continued to be active with the team, said El País.[11]
