Joel Jiménez Portero (born 20 January 2000) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Sporting de Gijón B.

Club career

Born in Avilés, Asturias, Jiménez joined Sporting de Gijón's Mareo from Avilés Deportivo CF.[1] He was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B ahead of the 2019–20 campaign, and made his senior debut on 20 October 2019, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Real Oviedo Vetusta.[2]

A backup to Christian Joel, Jiménez became a first-choice for the B-side in the 2021–22 season, with the team now in Tercera División RFEF. He made his first team debut on 15 January 2022, coming on as an extra-time substitute for Diego Mariño in a 0–0 Copa del Rey home draw against Cádiz CF, as an attempt of manager David Gallego to use him on the penalty shoot-outs; Sporting was ultimately knocked out after Cádiz scored all penalties and won by 4–2.[3][4]

On 9 August 2022, Jiménez was loaned to Primera Federación side Real Unión, for one year.[5]
