Javier Muñoz Jiménez (Spanish pronunciation: [xaˈβjeɾ muˈɲoθ]; born 28 February 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for La Liga club Las Palmas.
Club career
Born in Parla, Madrid, Muñoz joined Real Madrid's youth system in 2006, aged 11, after starting out at local side CP Parla Escuela.[1] He finished his youth training period in 2014, being immediately assigned to the C-team in Tercera División.
Muñoz was called up by the reserves in late September 2014, and made his debut for the side in a 3–0 home loss against SD Amorebieta in the Segunda División B.[2] On 1 December he was included in the main squad's 17-man list for a Copa del Rey match against UE Cornellà,[3] and played his first match as a professional on the following day, replacing James Rodríguez in the 63rd minute of the 5–0 home success (9–1 on aggregate).[4]
On 19 July 2017, Muñoz was loaned to Lorca FC, newly promoted to Segunda División, on a one-year deal.[5] Roughly one year later, he signed a three-year contract with Deportivo Alavés, being immediately loaned to Real Oviedo for one year.[6]
Muñoz returned to Alavés for the 2019–20 season, and made his La Liga debut on 21 December 2019, starting in a 4–1 away loss against FC Barcelona. The following 31 January, he moved to CD Tenerife in the second division, on loan until June.[7]
On 18 September 2020, Muñoz moved to CD Mirandés in the second tier, on loan for the 2020–21 campaign.[8] The following 1 July, he agreed to a permanent two-year deal with SD Eibar also in division two.[9]
On 16 June 2023, Muñoz signed a two-year contract with UD Las Palmas, newly-promoted to the top tier.[10]
