idk if it counts, but Callens played in some UECL qualifiers Alexander Callens - Player profile 25/26
Same with mitrita, multiple times with europa league qualifiers Alexandru Mitriță - Detailed stats

I assume you're talking about playing there _after_ playing for us... but in case you mean in general, there are a bunch who played before joining us. To name a few...
Andoni Iraola played UEL (and also managed in UEL) Andoni Iraola - Career stats
Lampard played UEL https://www.transfermarkt.com/frank-lampard/leistungsdaten/spieler/3163
David Villa played UEL David Villa - Player profile
 
Mounsef Bakrar played today for Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League vs. Malmo, in Malmo, and got the equalizing goal* in the 90 + 6 minute!

* actually they gave it as an own goal and Bakrar got the assist. But he made the goal happen.

Thanks. Yes, this is for players who were part of the Club and later played in European competition. The question of qualifiers vs. group stage or later is a good one. In the Champions League list, I add an addenda for the one player who only participated in qualifiers - Mix Diskerud.
