Juan Francisco García Peña (born 1 October 1989), known as Juanfri, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Marbella FC as a striker.

Football career

Early years / Málaga

Born in Fuengirola, Province of Málaga, Juanfri made his senior debuts at the age of just 16, playing with local UD Fuengirola Los Boliches in the fourth division and scoring a hat-trick in a 9–0 win against Úbeda CF. In the 2008–09 season he moved to another modest side in Andalusia, Unión Estepona CF, partnering former Málaga CF legend Catanha up front, and both were instrumental as the club first promoted to the third level;[1] in the process he netted the team's first ever goal in the fourth category of Spanish football.[2]

In the 2009 summer Juanfri signed with Málaga, being assigned to the reserve squad in division four. He made his first-team debut on 7 January 2010, in a 2–1 home win against Getafe CF for the campaign's Copa del Rey.[3]

Sporting Goa

Juanfri did not appear in any more official games for Málaga and, in the 2012 summer, left for neighbouring Écija Balompié in the third division.[4] On 31 January 2013, however, he moved abroad and joined I-League side Sporting Clube de Goa until the end of the season.[5]

Juanfri made his first appearance for his new team one day after signing, being replaced in the 81st minute of the fixture against Churchill Brothers SC (1–0 home success).[6] He was released in June 2013.[7]
