Jaime Gavilán Martínez (born 12 May 1985) is a former Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left midfielder.

He amassed La Liga totals of 203 games and 11 goals over the course of 12 seasons, representing mainly in the competition Valencia and Getafe.

Club career

[edit]

Valencia

[edit]

Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, Gavilán was a Valencia CF youth product. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut one month shy of his 18th birthday, playing 12 minutes in a 0–1 away defeat against Real Valladolid on 19 April 2003.[1] He also spent two full seasons with the reserves, in the third division.

Gavilán was gradually breaking into the main squad after two loans (CD Tenerife – second level – and Getafe CF), even though he had to battle for that position with the gifted (although tremendously injury-prone) Vicente. However, after the arrival of new boss Ronald Koeman in November 2007, he was deemed surplus to requirements and was loaned again to Getafe, until the end of the season; the previous campaign, he suffered a serious knee ligament injury which kept him out of action for a period of six months.[2]

In his second spell with the Madrid outskirts side, Gavilán appeared prominently during half a season, netting in a 2–1 home win over Racing de Santander on 16 March 2008.[3] He was also part of the team's quarter-final run in the UEFA Cup, playing in three matches, all as a starter.

Getafe

[edit]

On 15 July 2008, Gavilán signed a four-year deal with Getafe, thus losing all ties to Valencia.[4] During his first full season he was an everpresent midfield fixture and, on 12 April 2009, he scored the game's only goal in an important win at Sevilla FC.[5]

In 2009–10, Gavilán featured in 27 league games (no goals) as Getafe qualified for the second time ever for Europe, after finishing in sixth position. On 6 March 2011, in the last minutes of the first half of a 0–2 away defeat against Sporting de Gijón, he suffered the same injury to his knee, being sidelined for the rest of the campaign.[6]

Levante

[edit]

Free agent Gavilán joined fellow top division club Levante UD in June 2014, signing a two-year contract with an option to extend for a further year.[7] On 30 January 2015, after appearing in only six competitive matches, he severed his link.[8]

Abroad

[edit]

After a brief spell in Greece with Platanias FC, Gavilán signed for Indian Super League side Atlético de Kolkata on 18 June 2015.[9] Subsequently, he represented South Korea's Suwon FC before returning to India with Chennaiyin FC.[10]

Alcorcón

[edit]

On 6 July 2018, 33-year-old Gavilán returned to Spain after agreeing to a two-year contract with AD Alcorcón in the second division.[11] On 9 July of the following year, after appearing in only eight league matches, he terminated his contract.[12]

Sanse

[edit]

On 10 August 2019 UD San Sebastián de los Reyes announced, that they had signed Gavilán.[13]

International career

[edit]

In the run up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Luis Aragonés called up Gavilán to a Spain senior team get-together, however he was ultimately not part of the squad at the finals and never earned a full cap.[14]
