Francisco José González Expósito, aka Kiko Ratón (born 19 September 1976 in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife), is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Tenerife in the Spanish second division, as a striker.

Club career

Ratón finished his football formation at local CD Tenerife, playing his first years in the fourth division or lower, having also appeared for the club's B team. He made his professional debuts in 2002–03, in the second level, aged 26.

After three seasons with Tenerife, Ratón moved to second-tier outfit Hércules CF, appearing very rarely through one sole season. He resumed his career in the division below, with Orihuela CF, and scored 21 goals in his second season, second overall in all four groups.

Ratón then had one assuming experience abroad, joining Greek team Iraklis Thessaloniki in the summer of 2008. He returned home after just one year, with Girona FC, achieving, at the age of 33, his best season as a professional, as the Catalans narrowly avoided relegation from level two.
