José Miguel Prieto Castillo (born 22 November 1971) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender.

Nicknamed Shark due to his fierce character, he appeared in 282 competitive games for Sevilla in a 14-year professional career.[1][2]

Club career[edit]

Born in Albacete, Castilla–La Mancha, Prieto began playing as a senior with local Albacete Balompié, in the Segunda División B. In the summer of 1989 the 17-year-old signed for Sevilla FC, being assigned to the reserve side who competed in the same level.[1]

Prieto made his La Liga debut on 21 January 1990, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away win against CD Tenerife.[3] He totalled just 16 first-team appearances in his first two full seasons, however.

Prieto scored his only top-flight goal on 9 April 1994, the only at Sporting de Gijón.[4] From 1996 to 2001 he experienced two promotions and as many relegations with his main club, partnering mainly Juan Martagón in the center of the defence.[5]

Prieto retired in June 2003 at the age of 31, after several knee problems.[1]

International career[edit]

Prieto earned 32 caps for Spain at youth level, including 14 for the under-21 team. He was sent off on his debut on 14 January 1992, a 0–0 friendly draw in Portugal.[6]
