Jordi Calavera Espinach (born 2 August 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a right back for Girona FC.

Club Career

Born in Cabra del Camp, Tarragona, Catalonia, Calavera finished his youth formation with Gimnastic de Tarragona, and was called up to the first team by manager Santi Castillejo for the pre-season in 2013. He made his senior debut on 25 August of that year, starting in a 1–2 home defeat against Lleida Esportiu for the Segunda Division B championship.

Two days later, Calavera renewed his link with Nastic, signing until 2016, and was definitely promoted to the main squad, as a replacement to Sporting de Gijon B-bound Alberto Benito. However, he spent the whole campaign mainly as a backup to Juanjo, as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.

On 19 January 2015, after being again second-choice (now to another new signing, Gerard Valentin), Calavera was loaned to UE Olot also in the third level, until June. On 9 September he made his professional debut, starting in a 2–2 home draw against Girona FC for the season's Copa del Rey (5–4 success on penalties).
