Career

Jiménez began his career in 2003 at Alianza Atlético in the Peruvian Primera División. In 2005, he moved to Argentina to play for San Lorenzo, which acquired his rights.[2][3]

In 2007, Jiménez joined Club Atlético Lanús on a loan helping the team win the Apertura 2007 tournament, its first ever top-flight league title.[4] In 2008, Jiménez was loaned to Peruvian club Universitario de Deportes. In 2009, he returned to play in the Argentine Primera División with recently promoted team Godoy Cruz.[3] After six months in Mendoza, the loan ended and he was sent to Sporting Cristal. On 7 January 2010, Deportes La Serena[5] signed the forwards from Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro "Malingas" on a 50% joint ownership deal.

Jiménez returned to play football for club Semillero from Tambogrande in the Ligas Superiores del Peru in 2023.[2]
