José Juan Luque Jiménez (born 16 October 1977 in Cantillana, Seville) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Diósgyőri VTK in Hungary, as a left winger.
Luque started playing professionally for Sevilla FC, appearing mostly for the reserves. His debut in the top division was on 1 March 1997 in a 2–3 away loss against Atlético Madrid, and he appeared in nine matches as the season ended in relegation.
In the summer of 1998, after one season with CD Badajoz in the second level, Luque moved to Atlético de Madrid. He played with the Colchoneros mostly in division two, and also represented the B team before leaving the club in the 2002 summer - he was also loaned to Albacete Balompié for five months in January 1999.
Luque split the 2002–03 season with RCD Espanyol and Elche CF, the former in the top level. Subsequently, he joined Málaga CF (the first of his two spells), being rarely used over the course of one 1/2 years, and signing for Ciudad de Murcia in the 2005 winter transfer window. He scored a career-best 20 goals in his first full season as his team narrowly missed on top flight promotion, being crowned joint-top scorer alongside Ikechukwu Uche of Recreativo de Huelva.
In 2007–08, Luque finished third in the Pichichi Trophy race, but Ciudad, now renamed Granada 74 CF, was eventually relegated. In very late August 2009, after having completed the pre-season with Málaga - he even started and scored in a 1–3 loss against Atlante F.C. in the Peace Cup - he was released and soon moved to Real Murcia, on a free transfer.[1] He only appeared in one fourth of the league matches during the season and his team also suffered relegation.
In January 2011, after 325 games and 75 goals in the two major levels of Spanish football (but only 49/3 in the top division), 33-year old Luque had his first abroad experience, signing for Diósgyőri VTK in Hungary.
