José Ángel Alonso Martín (born 2 March 1989), commonly known as José Ángel, is a Spanish professional footballer who currently plays as a centre back.
Born in Salamanca, Castile and León, José Ángel graduated from Salamanca's youth system, and made his senior debut with their 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 B.[1] He featured in eight matches during the campaign, as the Charros were relegated to Segunda División B.
José Ángel moved to Elche on 20 July 2013, being assigned to the B-side also in the third level, after Salamanca's dissolution.[2] After featuring regularly, he was promoted to the main squad on 27 July of the following year,[3] and signed a new three-year deal on 21 August.[4]
