Jesús Rueda Ambrosio (born 19 February 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club APOEL FC as a central defender or defensive midfielder.

He spent most of his career with Valladolid, playing 163 competitive games mostly in Segunda División.

Football career

Born in Corte de Peleas, Badajoz, Extremadura, Rueda played youth football with Real Valladolid. He made his senior debuts with the reserve team, spending four full seasons with the side in Segunda División B; on 12 November 2008 he made his first official with the main squad, against Hércules CF for the Copa del Rey (34 minutes played, 2–2 home draw),[1] and his La Liga maiden appearance was on 26 April of the following year also at the Estadio Nuevo José Zorrilla, a 0–0 draw with CA Osasuna where he came on as a late substitute.[2]

After spending the 2009–10 campaign on loan to Córdoba CF, in Segunda División,[3] Rueda returned to Valladolid which were now in the same level. He totalled 3,867 minutes of action in his second year in his second spell – playoffs included – scoring in a 1–1 draw at Recreativo de Huelva on 15 October 2011 as the Castile and León side went on to return to the top flight.[4]

On 13 August 2015, after appearing regularly as the club fluctuated between the first and second levels, Rueda terminated his contract with the Blanquivioletas.[5] He subsequently moved abroad for the first time, receiving offers from teams in Bulgaria and Israel,[6] eventually signing for Beitar Jerusalem F.C. and becoming a regular in the Holy Land team alongside compatriot Pablo de Lucas;[7] manager Slobodan Drapić stated "I wish I had eleven like Rueda", and he was among a growing contingent of Spaniards playing in the relatively obscure Israeli Premier League, gaining media attention back home.[6][8][9]
