Early years

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

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

On 9 July 2013, Jozabed returned to his native region by signing with Real Jaén also in the second level.[4] He made his debut for the Blancos on 18 August, scoring his side's only in a 1–2 home loss against SD Eibar.[5]

Rayo Vallecano

On 20 June 2014, after Jaén's relegation, Jozabed moved to La Liga with Rayo Vallecano after agreeing to a three-year deal.[6] 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.[7]

Jozabed scored his first goal in the main category of Spanish football on 4 January 2015, netting his team's first in a 2–1 win at RCD Espanyol.[8]
