Football career

edit

On the professional level Jusué played mainly for local giants CA Osasuna, but only appeared in six games with the first team in his first four years as a senior combined, with the Navarrese in the second division. From 2000 to 2002, with the club in La Liga, he ironically played more; he made his debut in the latter competition on 10 February 2001, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–2 away loss against Rayo Vallecano.[1]

After a series of loans, mainly in the second level, Jusué was released by Osasuna in the 2005 summer, resuming his career in division three or lower.
