Jonathan Ñíguez Esclápez, aka Jony (born 2 April 1985), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for AD Alcorcón in Segunda División, as a midfielder.

Football career

Jony was born in Elche, Valencian Community. With the exception of one Segunda División game with Real Madrid Castilla he played until the age of 26 in lower league football, representing mainly Real Madrid C and Ontinyent CF.

In the 2011 summer Jony returned to the second level with CD Guadalajara,^[1] playing 33 games – 26 starts – as his new team went on to retain its newly-acquired league status. He scored his first goal during the following season, but in a 1–5 home loss against Girona FC on 25 August 2012.^[2]

On 2 August 2013, following Guadalajara's relegation due to financial irregularities, Jony stayed in division two by signing for two years with AD Alcorcón.^[3]

Personal

Jony comes from a football family: his father, José Antonio, played several years with Elche CF – including the 1984–85 season in La Liga – as a striker.

His young brother, Aarón (another midfielder), was also brought up at Valencia, spending his entire senior career in the lower leagues. The youngest, Saúl, was brought up at Atlético Madrid.^[4]
