Club career
Born in Águilas, Region of Murcia, Jiménez joined Villarreal CF's youth sides in 2015, being initially assigned to affiliate side CD Roda.[1] In September 2020, aged 16, he featured with the C-team in a friendly against Hércules CF,[2] but was only promoted to the side in the following year.
On 11 January 2022, Jiménez renewed his contract with the Yellow Submarine until 2025.[3] On 28 August 2023, he was loaned to Primera Federación side Sestao River Club for the season.[4]
In December 2023, after being rarely used, Jiménez's loan with Sestao was cut short, and he returned to Villarreal C.[5] The following 30 August, after being deemed surplus to requirements,[1] he signed a two-year deal with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the third division.[6]
On 13 June 2026, Jiménez joined Hércules CF also in division three.[7]
