Jesús Olmo Lozano (born 24 January 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CE Sabadell FC as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Olmo emerged through FC Barcelona's prolific youth ranks at La Masia, and first represented professionally their reserves.[1] On 20 May 2006 he made his debut for the first team, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 away loss against Athletic Bilbao as a number of the main squad's players were already resting for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and Barça were already league champions.[2]

During the 2006–07 pre-season, Olmo took part in five games for the senior team, and later added a second La Liga appearance, one minute at Getafe CF (1–1 draw). After a loan in the second division with lowly Racing de Ferrol,[3] he was released by Barcelona and joined another club in that tier, Elche CF.[4]

After a one-year stint at Segunda División B's CD Puertollano, Olmo returned to the second division after agreeing to a deal with CE Sabadell FC. In 2014 he joined CF Reus Deportiu in the third division,[5] helping in their first-ever promotion to tier two in 2016.[6]

An ever-present figure for the Rojinegres, Olmo left the club in January 2019 after its ejection from the Liga de Fútbol Profesional.[7] Late in that month, he returned to Elche on a short-term contract.[8]
