Jesús Imaz Ballesté (born 26 September 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Polish club Wisła Kraków as a forward.

Club career

Born in Lleida, Spain, Imaz graduated through local UE Lleida's youth system. He made his senior debut on 30 August 2009, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 home draw against UE Sant Andreu for the Segunda División B championship.[1]

In the summer of 2011, after Lleida's dissolution, Imaz joined newly formed Lleida Esportiu also in the third level.[2] He was an undisputed starter in the following seasons, as the club missed out on promotion three times in the play-offs.

On 12 July 2014, Imaz signed a two-year deal with UE Llagostera, freshly promoted to Segunda División.[3] He played his first match as a professional on 23 August, replacing Vallho in the 78th minute of a 0–2 away loss to UD Las Palmas.[4]

Imaz scored his first professional goal on 19 October 2014, but in a 1–4 home defeat against RCD Mallorca.[5] On 11 July 2016, after suffering relegation, he agreed to a one-year contract at UCAM Murcia CF also in division two.[6]

On 27 January 2017, Imaz moved to fellow second tier side Cádiz CF, signing until June 2018.[7] On 31 August, however, he joined a host of compatriots at Wisła Kraków.[8][9]
