Jonathan 'Jony' López Rodríguez (born 17 April 1987 in Oviedo, Asturias) is a Spanish retired footballer. Mainly a central defender, he could also operate as a left back.

Football career

A product of Sporting de Gijón's youth ranks, López amassed 16 second division appearances during his first two professional seasons, including three in 2007–08 as the club returned to La Liga after ten years.

In the following campaign he was loaned to FC Barcelona B in the third level, returning to Asturias in June 2009 and continuing to play with the reserves until his release.

On 27 January 2011, after spending the first months of the season without a team, López signed with Candás CF in division four, a club coached by former Sporting player and B-team coach Abelardo Fernández.[1] However, only a few months after arriving, he was forced to retire from football at the age of only 24, due to a serious neck injury he contracted whilst still with Sporting.[2]
