Iker Carew Erazo Ormaza (born 9 February 2003) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward for the College of Charleston Cougars.
Carew was born in Murcia,[1] Spain, but moved to Skien, Norway at the age of two.[2] He joined the academy of Odd, but had to return to his parents’ native Ecuador after his grandfather needed support.[2] While in Ecuador, he played for the academy that his father set up, Academia de Ceider Erazo.[3]
He returned to Norway in 2017, re-joining the academy of Odd.[4] In 2020, while still in the academy, he went on trial with English Premier League side Sheffield United.[5] He left Odd in April 2022, stating that he was "not happy" about the way he was treated at the club.[6][7] He joined Fourth Division side Urædd the same month.[7]
In July 2022, he moved to the United States to enrol at the College of Charleston, joining the college's soccer team, the Cougars.[8] He scored three goals in sixteen appearances in his first season.[9]
Carew's father, Ceider, was also a footballer, and won 27 caps for the Ecuador national football team.[2] His brother, Jefferson, is also a footballer and played for the youth teams of Ecuador, and currently plays for Urædd.[1]
His father decided on 'Carew' as his middle name in honour of former Norwegian international footballer John Carew, and 'Iker' as his first name after Spanish international Iker Casillas.[5] He shares no relation with John Carew.[5]
