Javier 'Javi' González Gómez (born 22 March 1974) is a Spanish retired footballer. Mainly a midfielder, he could operate on either side of the pitch.

He spent most of his professional career with Athletic Bilbao, playing 254 competitive matches in ten La Liga seasons. [2] [3]

Club career

González was born in Barakaldo, Biscay. After growing through the ranks of Athletic Bilbao, he played one season each with Basque neighbours Deportivo Alavés ( Segunda División B) and Sestao Sport Club ( Segunda División, relegated). [4]

In 1997–98, after one year with fellow La Liga club RC Celta de Vigo, González returned to the San Mamés Stadium as a full member of the main squad, scoring five goals in 30 games as Athletic finished second and qualified for the UEFA Champions League. [5] [4] He even featured occasionally as an attacking right-back. [6] [7]

After a serious knee injury in late 2004, [8] González's role gradually diminished; he totalled only 26 league matches in three seasons. He also served a six-month loan at Israeli Premier League side F.C. Ashdod, where his former Celta teammate Haim Revivo worked as director of football. [9]

González signed for second-tier Hércules CF in July 2007, appearing sparingly in his first season. In the next, in which the Alicante team finished fourth, he was left without a squad number by manager Juan Carlos Mandiá. [10] [11]

Aged 35, González joined lowly Club Portugalete, thus returning to his native region. [12] He retired in 2011 after two seasons in the Tercera División. [4]
