Career

edit

Jiménez began his career in 2003 at Alianza Atlético in the Peruvian Primera División. In 2005, he moved to Argentina to play for San Lorenzo, which acquired his rights.[2][3]

In 2007, Jiménez joined Club Atlético Lanús on a loan helping the team win the Apertura 2007 tournament, its first ever top-flight league title.[4] In 2008, Jiménez was loaned to Peruvian club Universitario de Deportes. In 2009, he returned to play in the Argentine Primera División with recently promoted team Godoy Cruz.[3] After six months in Mendoza, the loan ended and he was sent to Sporting Cristal. On 7 January 2010, Deportes La Serena[5] signed the forwards from Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro "Malingas" on a 50% joint ownership deal.

Jiménez returned to play football for club Semillero from Tambogrande in the Ligas Superiores del Peru in 2023.[2]
