José Luis García del Pozo (born 11 January 1991 Málaga, Andalusia), aka Recio, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Granada CF on loan from Málaga CF, as a central midfielder.

Club career

A product of local Málaga CF's youth system, Recio made his first-team debut on 11 November 2010, shortly after the arrival of manager Manuel Pellegrini, who succeeded sacked Jesualdo Ferreira: he started in a Copa del Rey 3–2 home win against Hércules CF, in the round-of-32's second leg (3–2 on aggregate). Ten days later he first appeared in La Liga, again as a starter but in a 0–3 loss at Deportivo de La Coruña.^[1]

Late into the month, after performing solidly in his first matches, Recio signed his first professional contract, linking him with Málaga until the summer of 2015.^[2] On 5 December 2010 he scored his first goal as a senior, in a 4–1 home win against Racing de Santander.^[3]

On 9 January 2013, after featuring rarely during the first half of the season, Recio was loaned to neighbouring and fellow top-divisioner Granada CF, until June.^[4] He made his debut five days later, coming on as a substitute in a 2−2 away draw against Getafe CF; he netted his first goal for the side on the 19th, in a 2−0 home success over Rayo Vallecano that also was his first start.^[5]

International career

On 24 March 2011, courtesy of his performances with Málaga's first team, 20-year-old Recio made his debut with Spain U21s, in a friendly against France. Also in that year he represented his country in the FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Colombia, appearing in four games in an eventual quarterfinal exit.
