Club career

[edit]

Born in Águilas, Region of Murcia, Jiménez joined Villarreal CF's youth sides in 2015, being initially assigned to affiliate side CD Roda.[1] In September 2020, aged 16, he featured with the C-team in a friendly against Hércules CF,[2] but was only promoted to the side in the following year.

On 11 January 2022, Jiménez renewed his contract with the Yellow Submarine until 2025.[3] On 28 August 2023, he was loaned to Primera Federación side Sestao River Club for the season.[4]

In December 2023, after being rarely used, Jiménez's loan with Sestao was cut short, and he returned to Villarreal C.[5] The following 30 August, after being deemed surplus to requirements,[1] he signed a two-year deal with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the third division.[6]

International career

[edit]

Jiménez represented Spain at under-16, under-17,[7] under-18[8] and under-19 levels.[9]
