José Antonio Caro Díaz (born 3 May 1994), sometimes known as Churripi, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Valladolid as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Sevilla

Born in La Palma del Condado, Province of Huelva, Andalusia, Caro played youth football with Sevilla FC. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 23 September 2012, starting in a 1–0 Tercera División away win against CA Antoniano.

Caro first appeared for the reserves on 14 September 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home victory over CD El Palo for the Segunda División B.[2] On 11 November he signed a new contract with the club, running until 2016.[3]

On 26 April 2016, Caro further extended his link, signing until 2017.[4] On 26 June, during the play-offs final against Lleida Esportiu, he converted the decisive penalty in the shootout as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División.[5]

Caro made his professional debut on 2 September 2016, starting in a 1–1 home draw to UCAM Murcia CF.[6] A regular starter during the season, he lost his position to Juan Soriano the following campaign as the latter ended in relegation.[7]

Valladolid

On 28 July 2018, Caro signed a three-year contract with La Liga club Real Valladolid, and was immediately loaned to Albacete Balompié from the second division for one year.[8] On 16 August of the following year, he moved to SD Ponferradina also in a temporary deal.[9]

Caro shared the starting spot with Manu García during his spell at the Estadio El Toralín,[10] being recalled by Valladolid on 12 January 2020.[11] He made his debut in the Spanish top tier on 20 June, in a 0–1 loss at Atlético Madrid.[12]
