Club career

Born in Lebrija, Andalusia, Jiménez finished his youth career with Sevilla FC, making his senior debut with the C team in the 2009–10 season, in Tercera División. The same year, he also featured for the reserves in Segunda División B.[1]

Jiménez signed a contract with Segunda División club CD Mirandés on 10 August 2012.[2] He played his first game as a professional on 8 June 2013, starting in a 2–1 home win against Sporting de Gijón.[3]

On 21 July 2014, Jiménez joined SD Huesca of the third tier.[4] The following summer, he returned to division two with AD Alcorcón.[5]

An undisputed starter for Alkor, Jiménez played all league minutes in the 2020–21 campaign,[6] and on 16 September 2021 he renewed his contract until 2024.[7] The following 31 January, however, he terminated his link,[8] and signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with fellow second division side CD Leganés just hours later.[9]
