Juan Pablo Niño Castellano (born 15 May 1978) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a left winger.

Club career

Born in Rota, Cádiz, Andalusia, Niño graduated from local Real Betis' youth system, making his debuts with the reserves in the 1997–98 season, in Segunda División B. In the 2000 summer he was loaned to Recreativo de Huelva in Segunda División, playing his first match as a professional on 3 September 2000 by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 home draw against CD Badajoz.[1]

Niño appeared in 16 matches during the campaign, starting in only one however. In July 2001 he moved to Cádiz CF in the third level, also in a temporary deal, featuring regularly and being loaned to Eredivisie side RBC Roosendaal in July 2003.[2]

In August 2004, profitting from Denílson's injury, Niño was promoted to the main squad in La Liga.[3] He made his debut in the competition on 16 October, replacing Edu in a 1–1 home draw against Real Madrid.[4]

In December 2005, after being rarely used, Niño joined CD Numancia on loan for the remainder of the season.[5] On 4 August of the following year he rescinded his link with the Verdiblancos, and signed for Mérida UD in division three.[6]

Niño moved to Tercera División's CD Pozoblanco in 2007,[7] and resumed his career in the lower leagues, representing Puerto Real CF,[8] Real Balompédica Linense[9] and CD Rota.[10]
