Jonathan Castro Otto (born 3 March 1994), commonly known as Jonny, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Celta de Vigo as a right or left back.
Born in Vigo, Galicia, Jonny played youth football with his hometown club Celta de Vigo. He spent his first season as a senior with the reserves in Segunda División B, appearing regularly but suffering team relegation.
Jonny made his La Liga debut for the main squad on 1 September 2012, starting in a 2–0 home win against CA Osasuna. On 5 November he renewed his contract with the club, until 2017.
Jonny was definitely promoted to the first team at the start of 2013–14, after the arrival of Luis Enrique as coach, and appeared in 26 matches during that campaign. On 19 January 2015 he further extended his link, until 2019.
Jonny scored his first professional goal on 20 February 2016, netting the second in a 3–2 home success over SD Eibar. He finished the season with 36 league appearances, helping the side finish sixth and qualify to the UEFA Europa League.
On 18 January 2017, he netted the winner in a 2–1 victory away at Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.
After playing for Spain at under-18, under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels, Jonny was called to the full side on 26 May 2015, for a friendly with Costa Rica and a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Belarus.
