Francisco Javier 'Javi' López Díaz (born 20 April 1988) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a right winger.

Club career

López was born in Málaga, Andalusia. As a product of hometown Málaga CF's youth ranks,[1] he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 7 November 2009, scoring in a 2–2 away draw against CD Tenerife; another player promoted from the reserves, Daniel Toribio, also made his first appearance in that game.[2][3]

Firmly established in the side's starting XI, López netted his second goal on 31 January 2010 in a 2–0 victory at Atlético Madrid.[4] For the 2010–11 season, however, he was loaned to SD Ponferradina, recently returned to the Segunda División, alongside teammate Toribio.[5] He scored his first goal on 11 September, but this happened in a 1–5 home loss to Villarreal CF B.[6]

López was again loaned the following summer, this time to Real Jaén of Segunda División B.[7] He made his official debut on 18 September 2011 in the 2−0 home defeat of CD Puertollano,[8] and scored his first goal on 12 February of the following year in a 1−1 draw against the same opponents.[9]

On 6 June 2012, López was told that his contract would not be renewed by Málaga, and he would be free to start looking for a new club.[10] The following month, he signed with Getafe CF's reserves in division three; he continued competing in that tier the following years, representing a host of teams.[11][12]
