[edit] Club career

A product of Real Madrid's youth system, Jurado was one of Real Madrid Castilla's most important players, alongside Javi García. He made his first team debut on October 29, 2005, in a 2–0 away win against Real Betis, and would make five appearances overall, also fielding against Olympiacos F.C. in the UEFA Champions League.

On August 4, 2006, Jurado moved to city rivals Atlético Madrid for a reported fee of 3 million, signing a four-year contract.[1] However, like with Álvaro Arbeloa before him, Real Madrid included a "special clause" in Jurado's contract, having the option of buying him back at the end of 2007–08 for €6 million.

After playing in 33 league games in 2006–07, mainly due to serious injuries to teammates Maximiliano Rodríguez and Martin Petrov, Jurado appeared sparingly in the following season, and was loaned to RCD Mallorca in July 2008. After outstanding performances during 2008–09 and finishing the season as the Balearic Islands side's second topscorer, he was recalled by the colchoneros.

On November 10, 2009, Jurado put pen to paper a new contract with Atlético, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2013. He celebrated his new deal by scoring the opening goal of the 6–0 Spanish Cup success over UD Marbella, in the same evening.

[edit] International career

Jurado played for Spain at under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels, and represented the nation at the FIFA U-17 World Cup and 2009 UEFA European U-21 Championship.
