José Ángel Alonso Martín (born 2 March 1989) known as José Ángel, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central defender for Hong Kong club Eastern SC.

Football career

Born in Salamanca, Castile and León, José Ángel graduated from UD Salamanca's youth system, and made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2008–09 season, in Tercera División. In the summer of 2010, he was promoted to the first team that competed in Segunda División.

On 3 October 2010, José Ángel played his first game as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win against Villarreal CF B.[1] He featured in eight matches during the campaign, as the Charros were relegated to Segunda División B.

José Ángel moved to Elche CF on 20 July 2013, being assigned to the reserve side also in the third level, after Salamanca's dissolution.[2] After featuring regularly with the B's, he was definitely promoted to the main squad on 27 July of the following year,[3] and signed a new three-year deal on 21 August.[4]

José Ángel made his La Liga debut on 24 August 2014, starting as a defensive midfielder in a 0–3 away loss against FC Barcelona.[5] He contributed with 13 appearances during the season, as the team suffered administrative relegation.

José Ángel scored his first professional goal on 24 May 2016, netting his team's only in a 1–2 away loss against RCD Mallorca.[6] On 19 July 2017, after suffering another drop, he moved to the latter club.[7]

On 31 August 2018, José Ángel signed with Eastern Sports Club following a trial.[8] He scored on his Hong Kong Premier League debut two days later, in a 3–2 home victory over R&F.[9]
