Israel Jerez Martínez

Israel Jerez Martínez (born 8 August 1986) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a winger.

Club career Born in Granada, Andalusia, Jerez finished his youth career at local club Arenas CD, and made his senior debut with them in the 2004–05 season in the Segunda División B, suffering relegation. He returned to the third division only for 2007–08, when he signed for Granada CF.

In the following four years, Jerez continued competing in the third tier of Spanish football, representing CD Toledo, CD Roquetas, CP Cacereño and Real Jaén. He achieved promotion to Segunda División with the latter team in 2013, scoring seven goals in 37 games in the process.

Jerez played his first professional match on 18 August 2013, starting in a 1–2 home loss against SD Eibar. He made 35 appearances during the campaign, with Jaén eventually being immediately relegated to the third tier; his only goal in the second occurred on 15 December 2013, when he helped the hosts to defeat RCD Mallorca 2–1.

On 22 July 2014, Jerez moved to CD Alcoyano also from the third division.
