Club career

Early years

Born in Cangas del Narcea, Asturias, Jony finished his formation with FC Barcelona after a period with local Real Oviedo. He made his senior debut with the latter's reserves in the 2010–11 season, in Tercera División.[1]

In June 2011, Jony moved to Segunda División B club Marino de Luanco.[2] He continued competing in that level in the following years, representing Getafe CF B,[3] Real Avilés[4] and Sporting de Gijón B.[5]

Sporting

Jony signed a two-year deal with the latter's first team on 7 May 2014, being definitely promoted.[6] He played his first match as a professional three days later, starting and scoring the first goal in a 2–1 home win against Hércules CF for the Segunda División championship.[7]

Jony contributed with seven goals in 41 appearances during the 2014–15 campaign, being an undisputed starter as the Rojiblancos returned to La Liga after a three-year absence. He made his debut in the competition on 23 August 2015, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Real Madrid.[8]

Jony scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 23 September, but in a 1–2 loss at Rayo Vallecano.[9]

Málaga

On 23 June 2016, Jony signed a four-year contract with fellow league club Málaga CF after his contract with Sporting expired.[10] On 12 January 2018, he returned to Sporting on loan until the end of the second level season;[11] in April, he was named Player of the Month for the previous month.[12]

On 17 June 2018, following Málaga's top flight relegation, Jony was loaned to Deportivo Alavés of the same tier for one year.[13]

Lazio

On 22 July 2019, Jony joined S.S. Lazio.[14] His maiden Serie A appearance took place on 1 September, when he came on as a 78th-minute substitute in the 1–1 home draw to A.S. Roma.[15]
