*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
José Manuel González Ortiz (born 29 January 1979), known as Cheli, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
Football career
Cheli was born in Lepe, Huelva. After emerging through the ranks of local Recreativo de Huelva he played eight seasons with the first team, experiencing two La Liga promotions with the Andalusians; he was also loaned twice, on both occasions to third division clubs.
In 2006–07 Cheli made his top level debuts, his first appearance being in a 1–1 home draw against RCD Mallorca on 27 August 2006. Scarcely used throughout the campaign he still scored two goals, in large wins over Galicia's Celta de Vigo (4–2)[1] and Deportivo de La Coruña (5–2).[2]
Cheli joined Recreativo neighbours Málaga CF for 2007–08, appearing regularly – both as starter or from the bench – to help the club return to the top flight. In the following season, however, he was very rarely played, being released at its closure and joining UE Lleida in division three.
