About Coke (footballer)

Jorge Andújar Moreno (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxoɾxe anˈduxaɾ moˈɾeno]; born 26 April 1987), known as Coke ([ˈkoke]), is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right-back. He began his career at Rayo Vallecano, who he helped rise from Segunda División B into La Liga, totalling 204 official games. In 2011 he joined Sevilla, with whom he won the Europa League three times and made 173 appearances in all competitions. == Club career == === Rayo Vallecano === Born in Madrid, Coke was a product of Rayo Vallecano's youth system, being promoted to the main squad for the 2005–06 season at only 18, with the capital club in the Segunda División B. He helped it achieve promotion in his third year, and played 33 matches the following campaign as the team overachieved for a final fifth place (scoring three goals in as many wins, including the game's only at home against Hércules CF on 7 February 2009). Coke only missed 11 league games out of 84 the next two Segunda División seasons and scored 12 goals, with Rayo achieving promotion to La Liga by finishing second in 2011. === Sevilla === In early June 2011, Coke signed with fellow top-flight club Sevilla FC, penning a four-year contract. He made his top flight debut on 28 August, coming on for Fernando Navarro at half-time of the 2–1 home win against nearby Málaga CF. He finished his first year with 32 appearances in all competitions. Coke scored his first league goal with the Andalusians on 17 March 2013, grabbing a brace in a 4–0 home rout of Real Zaragoza. On 14 May of the following year, he played the full 120 minutes and converted his penalty shootout attempt in the final of the UEFA Europa League against S.L. Benfica, as Sevilla went on to win the trophy. After the departure of Ivan Rakitić to FC Barcelona, Coke captained the team in the 2014 UEFA Super Cup on 12 August, a 2–0 defeat to Real Madrid at Cardiff City Stadium.
