Jaume Vicent Costa Jordá (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈdʒawme ˈkɔsta]; born 18 March 1988) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Albacete Balompié.

He spent most of his career at Villarreal, making 268 appearances, and also had two spells with Valencia.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Valencia

[edit]

Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, Costa played youth football with local giants Valencia CF, but almost exclusively in the B side, with whom he competed in both Segunda División B and Tercera División. He made his only first-team appearance on 4 December 2008 in a UEFA Cup home game against Club Brugge KV, and featured the first 55 minutes of the 1–1 group stage draw before being substituted by Vicente Rodríguez.[2]

Costa was loaned to Cádiz CF of Segunda División for the 2009–10 season,[3] appearing in less than half of the matches and also suffering relegation.[4]

Villarreal

[edit]

Costa joined neighbours Villarreal CF in the summer of 2010, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the second division. He played his first match in La Liga with the main squad on 4 March 2012, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away loss against Real Zaragoza.[5] At the end of the campaign both the first and the second squads dropped down a tier, even though the latter finished in a comfortable 12th position,[6] with 29 games and one goal from the player.[7]

In late August 2013, with the Yellow Submarine back in the top flight, Costa renewed his contract until June 2017.[8] He scored his first goal in the competition on 10 May 2014, his team's last in a 4–0 home win over Rayo Vallecano.[9] In January 2017, his link was again extended to 2021.[10]

On 13 August 2019, Costa returned to Valencia on a season-long loan.[11] He made his debut four days later, starting in a 1–1 draw against Real Sociedad at the Mestalla Stadium;[12] the decade-long difference between two appearances set a club record previously held by Juan Sánchez in the 1990s.[2]

Costa was released by Villarreal at the end of 2020–21, after his contract expired.[13]

Mallorca

[edit]

On 7 July 2021, Costa joined newly-promoted RCD Mallorca on a two-year deal.[14] He totalled 95 appearances during his three-year spell,[15] reaching the final of the Copa del Rey in the 2023–24 season.[16]

Later career

[edit]

On 7 August 2024, aged 36, the free agent Costa signed a one-year contract with second-tier club Albacete Balompié.[17]
