José Miguel González Rey, aka Josemi (born November 15, 1979 in Torremolinos, Málaga), is a Spanish footballer who currently plays for RCD Mallorca in the Spanish first division.
Predominantly a right back, he also can play as a central defender.
Josemi started his career at Málaga CF. After a match in 2000-01's closer, a 0-4 loss at Deportivo de La Coruña, on June 17, 2001, he went on to become an essential defensive element for the Andalusia outfit, helping it to the 2002 Intertoto Cup.
Subsequently, Josemi became Rafael Benítez's first signing as Liverpool manager, for £2 million in the summer of 2004. He played in 15 first-team games in the league in his debut season. Despite an initial run, he was sent off in Liverpool's 4-2 away victory over Fulham on October 16, 2004, and his subsequent ban led to Steve Finnan re-establishing himself as Benitez's first-choice right-back. Josemi made seven appearances (five starts) in the club's victorious Champions League campaign.
