José Ángel Jurado de la Torre (born 21 June 1992), known as José Ángel, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Deportivo de La Coruña.

Club career
Born in Seville, Andalusia, José Ángel graduated from Real Betis' youth setup, and made his senior debut with their reserves in the 2010–11 season, in the Segunda División B. In July 2011 he joined another reserve team, Villarreal CF B, and was immediately loaned to CD Mirandés in the same league.

José Ángel returned to the Yellow Submarine in June 2012 after winning promotion with the Castile and León club, and appeared regularly over two seasons. On 14 July 2014, he moved to UD Almería, being assigned to the B side also in the third division.

José Ángel played his first match as a professional on 5 December 2014, coming on as a substitute for Corona in the 67th minute of a 4–3 away win against Real Betis in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey. On 14 June 2015, he was promoted to the main squad, now in the Segunda División.

José Ángel made his debut in division two on 23 August 2015, replacing Mohammed Fatau in a 3–2 home victory over CD Leganés. He scored his first professional goal on 27 March of the following year, the equaliser in a 1–1 draw to RCD Mallorca also at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos.

On 31 January 2017, José Ángel's contract – which was due to expire in the end of the campaign – was terminated by the club. On 17 March, he moved abroad for the first time in his career after signing a one-year deal at FK Bodø/Glimt in the Norwegian First Division.

On 15 February 2019, José Ángel joined Moldovan National Division side FC Sheriff Tiraspol on loan. He returned to his country on 27 August, with third-tier FC Cartagena.

A backup to Adalberto Carrasquilla and Miguel Ángel Cordero in his first season as Efesé achieved promotion, José Ángel subsequently became first choice and helped the club to avoid relegation in the second. On 8 July 2021, he renewed his contract for a further year, but was transferred to Emirati club Al Wahda FC fifteen days later.

José Ángel returned to Cartagena on 12 January 2022, after agreeing to a deal until the end of the campaign. Three days later, however, he departed by mutual agreement as they were unable to register him, and on 16 January he signed with AD Alcorcón until 30 June.

On 3 July 2022, José Ángel joined CD Tenerife still in the second division on a two-year contract. One year later, he moved to Primera Federación team Deportivo de La Coruña on a two-year deal.
