Jesús Olmo Lozano (born 24 January 1985) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central defender.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Olmo emerged through FC Barcelona's prolific youth ranks at La Masia, and first represented professionally their reserves.[1] On 20 May 2006 he made his debut for the first team, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 away loss against Athletic Bilbao as a number of the main squad's players were already resting for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and Barça were already league champions.[2]

Olmo took part in five games for the senior team during the 2006–07 pre-season, and later added a second La Liga appearance, one minute at Getafe CF (1–1 draw).[3] After a loan in the second division with lowly Racing de Ferrol,[4] he was released by Barcelona and joined another club in that tier, Elche CF.[5]

After a one-year stint at Segunda División B's CD Puertollano, Olmo returned to the second division after agreeing to a contract with CE Sabadell FC. In 2014 he joined CF Reus Deportiu one level below,[6] helping in their first-ever promotion to the second tier in 2016.[7]

An ever-present figure for the Rojinegres, Olmo left the club in January 2019 after its ejection from the Liga de Fútbol Profesional.[8] Late in that month, he returned to Elche on a short-term deal.[9]

On 14 August 2019, Olmo became a free agent and returned to Sabadell, with the club now in the third tier.[10] He spent the entire campaign nursing a serious knee injury, contributing only one appearance to his side's promotion.[11]

Olmo terminated his contract on 9 January 2021.[12]
