Rafael Jimenez Jarque (born 12 August 1993), known as Fali, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Cadiz CF as either a central defender or a defensive midfielder.
Club Career
Levante and Huracan
Born in Valencia, Fali joined Levante UD's youth setup in 2010 at age 17, after starting out at Villarreal CF and Catarroja CF. He made his senior debut with their reserves, spending one season apiece in Segunda Division B and Tercera Division.
Fali terminated his contract with the Valencians on 16 August 2013, and signed with third-tier club Huracan Valencia CF just hours later. In the 2014–15 campaign he appeared in 42 matches and scored three goals, as the team missed out on promotion in the play-offs.
Gimnastic
On 6 July 2015, Fali agreed to a two-year deal with Gimnastic de Tarragona, newly promoted to Segunda Division. He played his first game as a professional on 30 August, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Sergio Tejera in a 2–1 away win against CD Tenerife.
