Javier Ontiveros

Villarreal On 20 August 2019, Ontiveros signed a five-year contract with Villarreal CF. On 24 September of the following year, having been mainly used as a substitute, he moved to SD Huesca of the same league on loan for one year, where he started under Míchel but became a fringe player under Pacheta.

On 27 August 2021, Ontiveros joined CA Osasuna also in the top division, on loan for the season. This arrangement was terminated on 29 January 2022, and he agreed to a permanent four-and-a-half-year deal at CF Fuenlabrada hours later; Villarreal also retained a buy-back clause.

After Fuenlabrada's relegation, Ontiveros was not purchased by the club, and he returned to the Estadio de la Cerámica in July 2022. He spent the 2022–23 campaign with Villarreal's B team in division two, where he struggled to get significant playing time.

Ontiveros scored a career-best nine goals in 2023–24 while also providing five assists, but his side went down as last; subsequently, he became a free agent.
