Jonathan Pérez Olivero, commonly known as Jotha (born 6 June 1982), is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD Lanzarote mainly as a right winger.

Football career

Born in Tinajo, Lanzarote, Jotha graduated through UD Las Palmas' youth system, having arrived from lowly neighbours UD Lanzarote. In January 2004, after 15 games in 2003–04's second division with the first team – with the campaign eventually ending in relegation – he moved to Real Madrid, spending almost two entire seasons with its reserves.

Jotha appeared in one match with the La Liga powerhouse: on 21 September 2004 he played three minutes in a 1–0 home win against CA Osasuna, after replacing legendary Raúl.[1]

Released in June 2006 Jotha played one season in the second level with SD Ponferradina (relegation), then continued his career in the lower leagues, mainly in his native Canary Islands. In 2008, ten years after leaving, he returned to Lanzarote in division three.
