Jerónimo Miñarro Navarro (born 19 September 1977), aka Jero, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender.
Football career
Born in Lorca, Region of Murcia, Jero began his senior career with Valencia CF's reserves at the age of 19,[1] never appearing officially for the first team. Subsequently he moved to Segunda División and joined Rayo Vallecano, only playing twice during the season as the Madrid club promoted to La Liga.
In July 1999 Jero joined Superleague Greece club Panachaiki FC, being first-choice during the campaign and scoring three goals as the team narrowly avoided relegation.[2] He returned to his country the following season, appearing in only 19 second division games over the course of three seasons combined, and being relegated with two of the three teams he represented in the category, Getafe CF and Burgos CF.
Jero's last appearance in the second level would be in 2002–03 with UD Almería (no games played). Until his retirement in June 2010 at nearly 33, he played exclusively in the lower leagues, captaining Lorca Deportiva CF in his final season.[3] Subsequently, he joined the technical staff of Segunda División B club AD Cerro de Reyes.[4]
International career
Jero played for Spain at various youth levels. He participated with the under-20s at the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship in Malaysia, featuring in one match for the eventual quarterfinalists.
