Club career

José Manuel was born in Gijón, Asturias. A product of hometown's Sporting de Gijón youth academy, he was not very successful in his first stint with the club (only 11 first-team appearances in his first three seasons combined) but, after a loan spell with RCD Mallorca in the second division in the 1996–97 campaign,[1] with promotion, he returned as a full member of the main squad, but Sporting were relegated from La Liga in his first year back.[2]

Having attracted attention from Deportivo de La Coruña in 1999 and subsequently purchased for €300.000, Manuel would then begin a series of loan spells in the first and second levels,[3][4] adding to this a very short experience with Germany's Hannover 96 in the Bundesliga (also on loan, alongside compatriots – in the same situation – Fernando and Jaime).[5]

Finally released in June 2003 he resumed his career mainly in division three,[6] retiring well into his 30s.[7] During this timeframe he played mainly for CD Roquetas, in the third but also in the fourth divisions.[8][9]
