José Joaquín Matos García (born 6 May 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Cádiz CF.
Career
Born in Utrera, Seville, Andalusia, Matos was a Sevilla FC youth graduate. On 17 March 2013, aged only 17, he made his senior debut for the reserves by coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 Segunda División B away loss against La Roda CF.
Despite being used sparingly, Matos was definitely promoted to the B-team only in the 2014–15 campaign. An undisputed starter, he appeared in 36 matches (all starts) as his side narrowly avoided relegation.
On 1 May 2016, Matos made his first team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 1–0 loss at RCD Espanyol. He scored his first professional goal with the B's on 7 January 2018, in a 3–2 home defeat of Lorca FC in the Segunda División.
On 4 July 2018, free agent Matos signed a three-year contract with Cádiz CF in the second division. Roughly one year later, he extended his contract until 2022 and was loaned to Eredivisie side FC Twente for one year.
Matos returned to his parent club after having played only two league matches for Twente, and moved to Málaga CF on 16 September 2020, also in a temporary one-year deal. Upon returning, he terminated his contract with Cádiz on 15 July 2021, and signed for Burgos CF late in the month.
On 6 August 2023, during a pre-season friendly against Deportivo Alavés, Matos injured Giuliano Simeone after a tackle; the Argentine broke his fibula and also suffered an ankle injury. The following 6 July, he returned to Cádiz on a two-year deal.
