Club career

[edit]

Jordi César was born in Alicante to Uruguayan ancestors, his great-grandfather Juan Delgado having played for Peñarol.[1] He played youth football for five clubs including Hércules CF, Real Madrid and Real Valladolid, making his senior debut with the latter's B team in the 2011–12 season in the Tercera División; on 8 September 2011, he appeared in his first official game with the main squad courtesy of manager Miroslav Đukić, coming on as a late substitute in a 6–0 home win against Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[2][3]

In the summer of 2012, Jordi César returned to Hércules, initially being assigned to the reserves in the regional championships. On 2 December 2012, he played his first match in the Segunda División, at SD Huesca (45 minutes, 1–1 draw, providing the assist for Javier Portillo's late equaliser),[4] as coach Quique Hernández had lost both left-backs – Paco Peña and Pepe Sellés – to injury.[5]

Jordi César all but competed in the Segunda División B the following years, with Atlético Levante UD,[6] Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa,[7] CF Gavà[8] and AD Unión Adarve.[9] Abroad, he had spells at FC Winterthur in the Swiss Challenge League[10] and Nea Salamis Famagusta FC of the Cypriot First Division.[11]
