Sergio Contreras Pardo (born 27 April 1983), known as Koke, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward.
In a much-travelled career, he represented clubs in Spain, France, Portugal, Greece, the United States, Azerbaijan, Germany, Bolivia and India.
Born in Málaga, Koke started his football career at hometown club Málaga CF, being essential as the B-team reached the second division for the first time its history, in 2003.
On 23 February 2003, he scored a late equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Celta de Vigo in La Liga, where he appeared in six games, five from the bench, totalling 176 minutes for the Andalusians during the 2002–03 season.
In January 2004, after seeing very little playing time in the first team, barred by veteran Salva, Koke joined Ligue 1 club Olympique de Marseille, playing ten times without scoring the remainder of the season. The following one was much better, with him netting five goals in 24 appearances.
In the 2005–06 campaign, with the arrival of Mamadou Niang (in August 2005) and Toifilou Maoulida (in January 2006), Koke was deemed surplus to requirements, scoring one goal in nine league matches and, in January 2006, was sent on loan to Sporting Clube de Portugal where he played almost no part in the club's season, although he did find the net twice as a substitute against Gil Vicente F.C. on 5 March, in a 2–0 home win.
