About José Antonio Ñíguez

Born 1962. José Antonio Ñíguez is a Spanish association football player.

José Antonio Ñíguez Vicente (born 30 September 1962), known as Boria, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a striker.

He spent most of his senior career with Elche, with which he appeared in all three major levels of Spanish football for a total of ten seasons.

Career Born in Elche, Valencian Community, Boria played mainly for local Elche CF. He made his senior debut at only 18 and competed almost exclusively in the Segunda División, scoring a career-best 13 goals in 33 games in the 1983–84 season to help the club to return to La Liga after a six-year absence.

Boria featured much less the following campaign, which ended in immediate relegation. His first match in the top flight was on 1 September 1984 in a 1–0 local derby home loss against Valencia CF, and netted his only goal in the competition on 7 October that year, contributing decisively to a 2–1 away win over Real Valladolid.

Boria achieved another promotion to the top tier with the Franjiverdes in 1988, but never played in that tier again, seeing out his professional career in 1990 after spells with CE Sabadell FC and UE Figueres. The following year he re-joined Elche, now in the Segunda División B.
