Template:Spanish name José Salomón Rondón Giménez (born 16 September 1989 in Caracas) is a Venezuelan footballer who plays for Málaga CF in La Liga, as a striker.

Club career

Early career

Rondón made his debut in the Venezuelan first division at the age of 17, appearing for Aragua FC against Carabobo FC on 8 October 2006. On 8 April of the following year, he scored his first goal(s) for the club, in a 2–2 draw against Caracas FC.

In the summer of 2008, Rondón was signed by UD Las Palmas in Spain, and made his debut on 16 August in a friendly match with FC Barcelona B. His first official match came on 4 October as the Canary Islands side faced Deportivo Alavés in a second division game. Almost one year after his arrival, on 2 September 2009, he scored his first official goal, in a Copa del Rey match against Cádiz CF – becoming the youngest foreign player to ever score for the club, at the age of 19 years, 11 months and 17 days.[1]– and finished the 2009–10 season with ten goals in 36 games, as Las Palmas barely avoided relegation.

Málaga

On 19 July 2010, Málaga CF signed Rondón for a record transfer fee of €3.5 million.[2] He scored his first goal for the Andalusians exactly two months later, in a 1–2 home defeat against Sevilla FC in La Liga.[3] Four days later, he opened the score in a 2–0 win at Getafe CF,[4] adding a third the following week, in a 2–3 home loss against Villarreal CF.[5]

On 1 May 2011, Rondón contributed with one goal as Málaga came from behind at home to defeat Hércules CF 3–1.[6] That was his 13th goal of the season, with which he surpassed the record of goals from a Venezuelan footballer in the Spanish top flight, previously held by Juan Arango;[7] the team finally escaped relegation, with the player finishing as its top scorer.

Rondón started 2011–12 on the substitutes bench. He eventually beat competition from ageing Ruud van Nistelrooy, again finishing as Málaga's best scorer – included goals in narrow home wins against RCD Espanyol (2–1)[8] and Levante UD (1–0),[9] and a brace against Rayo Vallecano (4–2 success, also at Estadio La Rosaleda).[10]

International career

Rondón appeared for the Venezuelan under-20s in the 2009 FIFA World Cup in Egypt. He scored four times during the competition – as teammate Yonathan del Valle, with both netting hat-tricks in the 8–0 group stage routing of Tahiti – as the South Americans managed to qualify to the round-of-16.[11]

Previously, on 3 February 2008, aged only 18, Rondón made his debut for the senior team, in a friendly with Haiti, scoring his first international goal on 23 March, against El Salvador (another exhibition match, another 1–0 win).
