Club career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Born in Mairena del Alcor, Province of Seville, Jozabed finished his youth career with Sevilla FC, and made his senior debut in 2010–11 with the C team. He was promoted to the reserves in the summer of 2012.

On 1 February 2013, Jozabed terminated his contract with the Andalusians and joined SD Ponferradina.[2][3] He appeared in his first game as a professional eight days later, playing the last 30 minutes in a 3–0 away defeat against Villarreal CF in the Segunda División.[4]

Jozabed returned to his native region on 9 July 2013, signing with Real Jaén also in the second tier.[5] He made his official debut on 18 August, scoring in a 1–2 home loss to SD Eibar.[6]

Rayo Vallecano

[edit]

On 20 June 2014, after Jaén's relegation, Jozabed moved to La Liga with Rayo Vallecano after agreeing to a three-year deal.[7] He made his debut in the competition on 4 October, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–2 home loss against FC Barcelona.[8]

Jozabed scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 4 January 2015, his team's first in a 2–1 win at RCD Espanyol.[9]

Fulham

[edit]

On 12 August 2016, Jozabed moved abroad for the first time in his career, on a three-year contract with Championship club Fulham for an undisclosed fee.[10] His first match took place four days later, when he replaced Floyd Ayité in a 1–1 draw away to Leeds United.[11]

Celta

[edit]

On 13 January 2017, Jozabed was loaned to RC Celta de Vigo of the Spanish top division until June.[12] On 4 July, he signed a permanent four-year deal.[13]

On 26 August 2019, after being deemed surplus to requirements by Fran Escribá,[14] Jozabed was loaned to second-tier Girona FC for one year.[15] On 16 September of the following year, he renewed his contract until 2022 and was immediately loaned out to second division side Málaga CF for the season.[16]
