Gabriel Nicolás Benegas (born 1 March 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who currently plays for Deportivo Riestra, on loan from Defensores de Belgrano.
Career
Benegas played for Vicov and Boca Juniors in his youth career. He first played for Boca's senior squad during the 2016 Argentine Primera División season, making his debut in a defeat to Argentinos Juniors. He subsequently participated in Boca's final three fixtures of the season.
In July 2016, Benegas joined fellow Primera División outfit Quilmes on loan. His Quilmes debut came on 10 September against Huracán. In his third appearance, Benegas scored his first career goal versus Olimpo.
In August 2017, Benegas was loaned out to Primera B Nacional team San Martín. Almost a year later, Brown signed Benegas.
After five goals in twenty-seven matches for Brown, Benegas moved across the second tier to Defensores de Belgrano. He scored five times in the curtailed 2019–20, including twice against former club Quilmes.
On 18 February 2021, Benegas headed to South Korea to join K League 2 side Seoul E-Land FC; penning terms until 2023. There was also an offer from an unnamed Spanish club, though he chose the Korean team out of sincerity. He debuted on 28 February in a win against Busan IPark, coming off the bench to replace Lee Geon-hui. He then netted twice on his second appearance against Gimcheon Sangmu on 6 March. After a spell at Paraguayan club Sol de América in early 2022, Benegas returned to his former club, Defensores de Belgrano, on 3 June 2022.
