Sporting Gijón

Jony signed a new two-year deal with the latter's first team on 7 May 2014. He played his first match as a professional three days later, starting and scoring the first goal in a 2–1 home win over Hércules CF in the Segunda División.
In the 2014–15 campaign, Jony contributed seven goals in 41 appearances as the Rojiblancos returned to La Liga after a three-year absence. He made his debut in the competition on 23 August 2015, starting the 0–0 home draw against Real Madrid.
Jony scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 23 September, but in a 2–1 loss at Rayo Vallecano.
