Jonatan Valle Trueba (born 30 December 1984) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

He made his La Liga debut with Racing de Santander at the age of 18, going on to appear in 82 competitive games for the club.[1] He added 114 matches and seven goals in Segunda División over five seasons, in representation of four teams.

Club career

Valle was born in Santander. A youth product of Racing de Santander, he first appeared in La Liga on the final matchday of the 2002–03 season, playing 11 minutes in a 2–3 home loss against CA Osasuna.[2] He was promoted to the first team for the following campaign, but would never be an undisputed starter. On 20 December 2003, he scored a late penalty in a 2–2 draw at Atlético Madrid.[3]

After spending 2006–07 on loan to Segunda División side Málaga CF, Valle returned to Santander, playing almost no part in the Cantabrians first-ever qualification to the UEFA Cup after finishing sixth (only eight matches, one start). For the 2008–09 season he was loaned again, to SD Ponferradina in the Segunda División B.[4]

In July 2009, Valle was bought by CD Castellón, with Racing retaining an option to reacquire the player.[5] However, merely five months later, he returned to Ponferrada on loan until the end of the campaign,[6] contributing with 11 starts and three goals as the club returned to the second level after a three-year absence.[7]

In the following six years, Valle alternated between his country's second and third tiers,[8] [9] [10] also having a very brief spell in the Russian Premier League with FC Rubin Kazan.[11] On 8 February 2017, the 32-year-old free agent signed with amateurs Bergantiños CF.[12]
