Juanma Delgado

Greece In the summer of 2013, Juanma joined Greek club Asteras Tripolis. He played his first game as a professional on 15 September of that year, featuring six minutes in a 1–1 Super League draw at OFI Crete. His first goal came on 12 January 2014, when he contributed to a 3–0 home victory over Platanias.

After featuring in 36 games in all competitions and leaving by mutual consent, Juanma spent the 2014–15 season with fellow league side Kalloni. He scored his first goal for his new team on 9 November 2014, in a 2–0 away defeat of Panionios. He netted twice on 9 February of the following year, helping to a 2–2 home draw against Skoda Xanthi and an eventual 11th-place finish; subsequently, he signed a new contract.

Hearts Juanma signed for Heart of Midlothian on a three-year deal in June 2015, with Kalloni being entitled to 20% of any future transfer. On 2 August, in his Scottish Premiership debut, he capitalised on a Brad McKay mistake to score the opener at home against St Johnstone, in an eventual 4–3 win. Six days later, in a 2–1 victory at Dundee, he netted twice in five minutes, starting with a penalty. On 19 December, against the same opponent, he received a straight red card in a goalless draw for headbutting David Wotherspoon, and manager Robbie Neilson attributed it to frustration at Scottish referees being more lenient on fouls against strikers than their Spanish counterparts.

On 31 August 2016, Juanma was loaned to UCAM Murcia for one year, making his professional debut in the Spanish league system on 21 September when he came on as a 35th-minute substitute and scored once in a 4–0 home win over Almería in the Segunda División.

Japan Juanma agreed to a permanent contract with Japanese club V-Varen Nagasaki in January 2017. He spent the following years in the same country (in both the J2 League and the J1 League), with Omiya Ardija and Avispa Fukuoka.

On 14 December 2022, Juanma returned to V-Varen.
