Carmelo José González Jiménez (born 9 July 1983), known simply as Carmelo, is a Spanish footballer who plays for United Arab Emirates club Al-Ittihad Kalba SC as an attacking midfielder.
He spent most of his professional career with Las Palmas, Sporting de Gijón (competing in La Liga with both clubs) and in the Thai Premier League.
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Carmelo graduated from hometown UD Las Palmas' youth ranks. In his first appearance with the main squad, in 2001–02's La Liga, he scored in a 3–0 away win against RCD Mallorca on 26 August 2001, and would play a further three seasons with the club in the second (two) and third divisions (one).
Carmelo joined Levante UD in 2005–06 on a four-year contract, where he would be a key figure in the Valencian Community side's promotion to the top level, but would only appear in six matches in the following campaign, finishing it with Hércules CF on loan.
In 2007–08, Carmelo moved to CD Numancia still owned by Levante, scoring seven goals (third-best in squad) to another top flight promotion. He then switched in the next season to another promotee, Sporting de Gijón, netting in back-to-back wins in October against Mallorca, CA Osasuna and Deportivo de La Coruña, as the Asturians retained their division status.
