Jonathan Castro Otto (born 3 March 1994), commonly known as Jonny, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan from Atlético Madrid as a right or left back.
Club career
Celta
Born in Vigo, Galicia, Jonny played youth football with his hometown club RC Celta de Vigo. He spent his first season as a senior with the reserves in Segunda División B, appearing regularly but suffering team relegation.
Jonny made his La Liga debut for the main squad on 1 September 2012, starting in a 2–0 home win against CA Osasuna.[2] On 5 November, he renewed his contract with the club until 2017.[3]
Jonny was definitely promoted to the first team at the start of 2013–14 after the arrival of Luis Enrique as coach, and appeared in 26 matches during that campaign. On 19 January 2015 he further extended his link, until 2019.[4]
Jonny scored his first professional goal on 20 February 2016, netting the second in a 3–2 home success over SD Eibar.[5] He finished the season with 36 league appearances, helping the side finish sixth and qualify to the UEFA Europa League.
On 18 January 2017, Jonny scored the 2–1 winner away against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey (eventual 4–3 aggregate triumph).[6]
Atlético Madrid
On 25 July 2018, Jonny joined Atlético Madrid for an undisclosed fee, signing a six-year-contract. He then immediately joined English club Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan.[7] His maiden appearance in the Premier League took place on 11 August, when he played the entire 2–2 home draw against Everton.[8]
Jonny scored his first league goal on 29 September 2018, in a 2–0 home victory over Southampton.[9]
International career
After playing for Spain at under-18, under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels, Jonny was called to the full side on 26 May 2015, for a friendly with Costa Rica and a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Belarus.[10] He did not take part in any of those matches, however.
Jonny won his first cap for his country on 11 October 2018, contributing to a 4–1 friendly defeat of Wales at the Millennium Stadium after coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for César Azpilicueta.[11]
