José Ignacio Peleteiro Ramallo (born 16 June 1991), commonly known as Jota, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Brentford. A product of the Celta Vigo youth system, he helped Eibar earn promotion to La Liga while on loan in the 2013–14 season.
Born in A Pobra do Caramiñal, Province of A Coruña, Jota finished his development with Galician La Liga club Celta de Vigo, after joining the club's youth system at the age of 13. He made his professional debut on 29 January 2011, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute for Enrique de Lucas in a 1–1 Segunda División draw with Barcelona B. Jota made two further appearances in April 2011, making his first start for the club in a 1–0 win over Albacete on 17 April, lasting 73 minutes before being substituted for Mateo. He made four appearances during the 2010–11 season. Jota's only appearance of the 2011–12 season came in a 3–1 Copa Del Rey third round win over Real Valladolid on 12 October 2011, coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute for Joan Tomàs. With Celta back in La Liga for the 2012–13 season, Jota fell down the pecking order and spent the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons away on loan. Jota departed Celta in August 2014, having made just five senior appearances for the club.
