Club Career

Early years and Zaragoza

Born in Rota, Cadiz, Andalusia, Jose Mari played amateur football until the age of nearly 22, representing Union Deportiva Rotena and Atletico Sanluqueno CF. In the summer of 2009 he joined Real Murcia Imperial in Segunda Division B, being relegated in his first and only season.

Subsequently, Jose Mari stayed in that level, spending two years at Real Jaen. In the 2012 summer he moved straight to La Liga, signing for two years with Real Zaragoza and initially being assigned to the reserves after the preseason was over; however, he managed to convince first-team coach Manolo Jimenez and, in August, was definitely promoted.
