Jonathan Pereira Rodríguez (born 12 May 1987), sometimes known simply as Jonathan, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for AD Alcorcón. A forward, his main asset is his incredible speed.
Pereira was born in Vigo, Pontevedra. After having completed his footballing education at Villarreal CF, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut against Levante UD on 21 October 2006: he entered the pitch with 25 minutes to go and scored after only two minutes on the field, going on to total four league appearances throughout the season.
For 2007–08, Pereira was loaned to second division club Racing de Ferrol, and finished the season at 11 goals, although the Galician team would be relegated. He returned to Villarreal in July 2008 and had his contract extended until 2013, but was immediately loaned for the campaign to fellow league side Racing de Santander. On 13 September, he scored a 77th-minute equaliser at the Camp Nou in a 1–1 tie against FC Barcelona; mainly used from the bench he had a solid overall campaign, with eight goals in 41 matches (adding two in five in the season's UEFA Cup).
