José Luis Cabrera Cava (born 10 May 1982) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

Football career

Cabrera was born in Madrid. An unsuccessful Real Madrid youth graduate, he made his professional debuts with Pontevedra CF, playing with the Galicians one season in the second division and two in the third.

In 2006–07, Cabrera was an important defensive weapon as UD Almería achieved a first–ever La Liga promotion. However, he was deemed surplus to requirements by coach Unai Emery, moving in January 2008 to Deportivo Alavés – now in the second level – where he suffered a terrible knee injury in his first game which made him lose the remainder of the campaign.

Following Alavés' 2009 relegation, Cabrera signed with Córdoba CF in the summer, also in division two.[1] In early January 2010, during the first half of the 0–0 home draw against FC Cartagena, he suffered the same injury, being lost for the rest of 2009–10.[2]
