Jordi Ferrón Forné (born 15 August 1978) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played mainly as a right-back, currently manager of WE League club INAC Kobe Leonessa.
Playing career
Born in Badalona, Barcelona, Catalonia, Ferrón was a product of FC Barcelona's prolific youth ranks at La Masia. After failing to be promoted to the first team he had a breakthrough season in 1999–2000, scoring seven La Liga goals to help Rayo Vallecano to their best finish ever – ninth; he started his career as a midfielder.[1]
Subsequently, Ferrón moved to Real Zaragoza, but would be irregularly used in his new club, which also prompted a January 2002 loan to fellow top-division Rayo.[2] The player's contributions again proved helpful in an eventual mid-table position, as the former were in turn relegated.[1]
Following an uneventful last year at Zaragoza, Ferrón joined Albacete Balompié for 2004–05,[3] taking part in only one game in a season that also ended in top-tier relegation. In the next three Segunda División campaigns, however, he was an undisputed starter, appearing also at right-back.[4]
Ferrón signed with local side CF Badalona for 2008–09, his first season in the Segunda División B after totalling 242 matches across the two main divisions.[5]
Coaching career
Ferrón retired in June 2015 at the age of 37, following one year as player-coach of amateurs UE Cabrera. Afterwards, also at the regional level, he managed the women's team of CE Seagull from his hometown.[6][7]
On 10 December 2019, Ferrón signed as head coach of RCD Espanyol.[8] He continued to work in women's football the following seasons, with SD Eibar[9] and INAC Kobe Leonessa.[10]
