Jonathan Vila Pereira (born 6 March 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Oviedo as a defensive midfielder.
Football career
Vila was born in O Porriño, Province of Pontevedra. Brought through the youth ranks of local team Celta de Vigo, he made his La Liga debut on 17 December 2006, playing 14 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Levante UD.[1] He totalled ten official appearances during the season, including three (also as a substitute) in the campaign's UEFA Cup[2][3][4] as the Galicians were eventually relegated.
Vila was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2008–09, with Celta now in the second division.[5] He contributed with 15 games – 13 starts – in the 2011–12 season to help the club return to the top flight after an absence of five years.
In January 2014, completely ostracized by new manager Luis Enrique,[6] Vila was loaned to Beitar Jerusalem F.C. in the Israeli Premier League until June. In July 2014 he rescinded his contract with Celta,[7] and signed with Real Oviedo in the third level.
