Juan Luis Hens Lorite, aka Juanlu (born 7 February 1984 in Fuente Palmera, Córdoba), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Girona FC as a midfielder.

Football career

After starting out at local Córdoba CF, Juanlu moved to Valencia CF in 2004, playing mostly for its B side; on 23 January 2005, he played his first match with the main squad, at Villarreal CF: he replaced Francisco Rufete in the 7th minute, being himself replaced at halftime by Marco Di Vaio, in an eventual 1–3 loss.

After a loan at UE Lleida, Juanlu was released, resuming his career also in the second division, settling with CD Tenerife, and contributing with four goals in 35 games in his second season as the club returned to La Liga after seven years.
