Carlos Javier Cuéllar Jiménez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkarlos ˈkweʎar]; born 23 August 1981) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Israeli club Maccabi Petah Tikva F.C.. Mainly a central defender, he can also operate as a right back.
Born in Madrid, Cuéllar represented Internacional de Argibay, DAV Santa Ana, CD Pegaso and AD San Federico as a youth. In 2000, after a short trial at Atlético Madrid, he was signed by CD Numancia, being immediately loaned to CD Calahorra in Segunda División B.
Cuéllar returned to the Soria after his loan expired, and made his professional debut on 23 September 2011, starting and being booked in a 1–2 away loss against Xerez CD for the Segunda División championship. He scored his first professional goal on 12 May of the following year, netting the last in a 4–0 home routing of Racing de Ferrol.
On 29 August 2003 Cuéllar signed a three-year deal with CA Osasuna in La Liga. He made his debut in the competition on 19 October, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 home win against Real Murcia.
Cuéllar spent his first two seasons as a backup to César Cruchaga and Josetxo, but still renewed his contract with the club on 1 December 2005. He became an important part of the Javier Aguirre side that reached the Copa del Rey final in 2005 and finished fourth in the league in the following season, thus qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.
