Club career

Sevilla

Born in Minas de Ríotinto, Province of Huelva, José Carlos grew in Sevilla FC's youth system, making his first-team debut on 15 February 2009 as he played two minutes in a 2–0 away win against RCD Espanyol.[1] He added five more the following week, in the 1–0 home victory over Atlético Madrid also in La Liga.[2]

On 3 April 2010, as a second-half substitute, José Carlos scored his first league goal for Sevilla in their 3–0 home defeat of CD Tenerife.[3] Previously, in that season's Copa del Rey against CF Atlético Ciudad, he had netted twice in a 5–1 home rout.[4]

AEK Athens

With the arrival of new coach Gregorio Manzano, José Carlos fell out favour and was sent on loan to FC Cartagena in Segunda División, until June 2011.[5] He agreed terms with AEK Athens F.C. late into that month, signing a one-year deal with the Greek club and reuniting with former Sevilla coach (main squad and reserves) Manuel Jiménez as well as teammate Cala.[6]

José Carlos scored his first competitive goal for AEK against FC Dinamo Tbilisi in a UEFA Europa League qualifier, the game's only in a home fixture.[7] He added a second in the same competition – 1–2 group stage home loss to SK Sturm Graz[8]– as the team only earned three points in six matches.

Rayo Vallecano

In July 2012, José Carlos returned to Spain and joined Rayo Vallecano of the top division.[9] After being regularly used in his first season, he suffered a serious knee injury which took him out of the majority of the following.[10][11]

Córdoba

On 12 July 2014, José Carlos signed a one-year deal with Córdoba CF who had just promoted to the top flight.[12] His first and only appearance for the side occurred on 25 October 2014, and it consisted of 18 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Real Sociedad; a day later, he again suffered an injury.[13]

José Carlos terminated his contract on 13 November 2014.[14]

Later career

On 9 December 2015, after trials at Recreativo de Huelva[15] and UE Llagostera, José Carlos signed a short-term deal with the latter club.[16] He contributed 557 minutes during the campaign, and his team suffered relegation from second tier.

José Carlos moved to Gimnàstic de Tarragona on 5 July 2016, on a one-year contract.[17]
