Juan Manuel Delgado Lloria (born 17 November 1990), commonly known as Juanma, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UCAM Murcia CF on loan from Scottish club Heart of Midlothian as a forward.

Football career

Born in Valencia, Juanma only played lower league football in his country, starting out at FC Jove Español San Vicente in Tercera División.[1] He then moved to Segunda División B, where he represented CD Dénia[2] and Deportivo Alavés;[3] he scored and was sent off – after having already been replaced – in his competitive for the latter on 17 October 2012, a 2–1 away win against Huracán Valencia CF for the season's Copa del Rey.[4][5]

In the 2013 summer, Juanma joined Greek club Asteras Tripoli FC.[6] He played his first game as a professional on 15 September of that year, featuring six minutes in a 1–1 Superleague draw at OFI Crete.[7] His first goal came on 12 January 2014, when he contributed to a 3–0 home win over Platanias FC.[8]

After featuring in 36 games all competitions comprised and leaving by mutual consent,[9] Juanma spent the 2014–15 campaign with fellow league side Kalloni FC.[10] He scored his first goal for his new team on 9 November 2014, in a 2–0 away win over Panionios FC.[11] He netted twice on 9 February of the following year, helping to a 2–2 home draw against Skoda Xanthi F.C.[12] and an eventual 11th-place finish; subsequently, he signed a new contract.[13]

Juanma signed for Heart of Midlothian on a three-year deal in June 2015,[14] with Kalloni being entitled to 20% of any future transfer.[15] On 2 August, in his Scottish Premiership debut, he capitalised on a Brad McKay mistake to score the opener at home against St Johnstone, in an eventual 4–3 win.[16] Six days later, in a 2–1 success at Dundee, he netted twice in five minutes, starting with a penalty;[17] on 19 December, against the same opponent, he received a straight red card in a goalless draw for headbutting David Wotherspoon, and manager Robbie Neilson attributed it to frustration at Scottish referees being more lenient on fouls against strikers than their Spanish counterparts.[18]

On 31 August 2016, Juanma was loaned to UCAM Murcia CF for one year.[19]
