Jofre Mateu González (born 24 January 1980), known as simply Jofre, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Girona FC as a left midfielder.

Club career

Born in Alpicat, Lleida, Catalonia, Jofre was a product of FC Barcelona's prolific youth system. He made his first-team debut on 15 May 1998 (the last round of the season), scoring as a substitute in a 1–4 home loss against UD Salamanca. Playing mainly with the B-team he only amassed one more appearance with the main side, four years later.

In 2002 Jofre joined second division's Levante UD, being instrumental in the side's 2004 promotion to La Liga and appearing in 27 league games in the following season, which ended in relegation.

Jofre returned to his native region and the top flight with RCD Espanyol, but played almost no part in a team that narrowly avoided relegation. He then moved to Real Murcia, contributing with three league goals to another top flight promotion.

In August 2008 Jofre signed with Rayo Vallecano, freshly promoted to the second level. He started during most of his spell at the Madrid side, and continued to compete in the category in the following years, being first-choice with Real Valladolid and Girona FC.
