Josep Calavera Espinach (born 2 October 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for CD Castellón.
Born in Cabra del Camp, Tarragona, Catalonia, Calavera was a Gimnàstic de Tarragona youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the farm team on 28 August 2016 at the age of 16, coming on as a substitute in a 4–1 Tercera División away loss to Palamós CF.[1]
On 1 August 2017, Calavera moved to FC Barcelona and returned to the youth setup.[2] On 27 July of the following year, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to Segunda División B side Lleida Esportiu for the season.[3]
On 1 August 2019, after returning from loan, Calavera terminated his contract with the Blaugrana,[4] and signed for CD Castellón in the third division just hours later.[5] The following 31 January, he was transferred to Atlético Madrid and was assigned to the reserves in the same category.[6] [7]
On 2 July 2021, Calavera was loaned to Deportivo de La Coruña also in division three, for one year.[8] On 30 July of the following year, he returned to Castellón on a one-year deal.[9]
On 17 July 2023, after establishing himself as a first-choice, Calavera renewed his link with the Orelluts until 2025.[10] He remained a starter during the campaign, appearing in 29 matches as the club achieved promotion to Segunda División.
Calavera's older brother Jordi is also a footballer. A right-back, he too was groomed at Nàstic.[11]
