Jordi

Jordi Tarres Paramo (alternately Jorge Tarres Paramo, Chinese: 佐迪; born 16 March 1981) is a former footballer who played as a forward, and is currently the assistant coach of Hong Kong Premier League club Lee Man.

He spent most of his professional career with Kitchee in Hong Kong after signing in 2010, eventually going on to represent that national team in 2017. He amassed Segunda Division B totals of 203 games and 44 goals over the course of eight seasons, during his spell in his native Spain.

Club Career

Spain

Tarres was born in Barcelona, Catalonia to Isidoro Tarres, a footballer who played amongst other clubs for FC Barcelona. The son was a youth product of Espanyol and also appeared for its reserves in the third level, mostly representing teams in his native region.

In his country, Tarres never competed in higher than Segunda Division B, starting off with Igualada in Tercera Division. In the former tier he played with Sabadell, Hercules, Terrassa and Lorca Deportiva.

Kitchee

Tarres signed for Kitchee on 26 July 2010, being the second Spaniard to join the Hong Kong side after Fernando Recio. In his first season the club won the First Division League after 47 years, and he was also crowned the league's top scorer alongside Makhosonke Bhengu of Fourway Athletics. He also scored four goals in the 2012 AFC Cup group stage to help the team win the group, and progress to the last-16 stage of the tournament.

On 1 May 2013, Tarres scored a hat-trick against Warriors to become top scorer in the 2013 AFC Cup group stage with ten goals, finding the net in at all group stage games and equalling Julius Akosah's record for a Hong Kong club in the same competition. The following day, Kitchee general manager Ken Ng confirmed that he had signed a new two-year contract with the club.
