Jonatan Valle's Football Journey

Jonatan Valle was born in Santander, Spain. He grew up playing football in the youth teams of Racing de Santander. This is a famous club in his hometown.

Starting in La Liga

Jonatan made his first big appearance in La Liga during the 2002-2003 season. He was only 18 years old! Even though his team, Racing, lost that game, it was a huge step for him.

He joined Racing's main team for the next season. On December 20, 2003, he scored an important goal from a penalty in a game against Atlético Madrid. The game ended in a 2-2 draw.

Playing for Other Teams

In 2006-2007, Jonatan was loaned to Málaga CF, a team in the Segunda División (Spain's second league). After that, he went back to Racing.

For the 2008-2009 season, he was loaned out again. This time, he joined SD Ponferradina in the Segunda División B (Spain's third league). He played well there, scoring 11 goals.

In July 2009, Jonatan moved to CD Castellón. But just five months later, he returned to Ponferrada on another loan. He helped Ponferradina get promoted back to the second division.

Later Career and Russia

For the next six years, Jonatan played in Spain's second and third leagues. He also had a very short time playing in the Russian Premier League for FC Rubin Kazan.

On February 8, 2017, Jonatan, who was 32 years old, signed with an amateur team called Bergantiños CF. This was his last known club.
