José Francisco Cevallos Enríquez

José Cevallos came through the LDU Quito academy after joining at the age of 13, a path opened partly by his father, a former Ecuador international goalkeeper. He was still on the fringes of the first team when LDU won the national title, named in the squad without getting on the pitch.

A loan to Juventus followed in 2013, but it produced no appearances for the senior side, and Cevallos returned to Ecuadorian football to continue building his career at LDU. A loan spell at Portuguese club Portimonense was cut short before it ran its course.

He joined Emelec outright in 2020 for €500,000. At international level, Cevallos has earned five caps for Ecuador's senior team, scoring twice — against Honduras and Qatar — since making his debut in February 2017. He also represented the country at under-17 and under-20 level, and won a silver medal at the South American Games with the U-17 side.

In 2024 he moved as a free agent to Kazakhstan's Aktobe . A brief stint at El Nacional followed in 2025 before he returned to Emelec as a free agent.
