Perspective
Racing Santander
Born in Cabezón de la Sal, Cantabria, Jairo was a product of local Racing de Santander's youth ranks. He was promoted to the first team immediately after finishing his development in 2011, by manager Héctor Cúper.[2] He made his first-team and La Liga debut on 27 August, playing the last twelve minutes in a 4–3 away defeat against Valencia CF after coming on as a substitute for Manuel Arana.[3][2]
On 21 September 2011, the 18-year-old Jairo started his first official game for Racing, in a 0–0 home draw with Real Madrid.[4][2] On 25 October, he scored his first league goal in a 2–2 draw at Sevilla FC,[5] and went on to start in 14 of his league appearances in his first season (1,248 minutes of action), which ended in relegation.[6][7]
Sevilla
On 21 June 2013, after again dropping down a level with Racing,[7] Jairo returned to the top division by signing a five-year contract with Sevilla,[8] for a rumoured €2.5 million.[9] He made his competitive debut for the club on 1 August, replacing José Antonio Reyes in the 19th minute of a 3–0 win over FK Mladost Podgorica in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[10]
Mainz 05
Jairo joined Bundesliga side 1. FSV Mainz 05 on 29 August 2014, on a four-year deal;[11] the transfer fee remained undisclosed, but was believed to be in the region of €2 million.[12] He finished his first season with 22 games and two goals,[13][14] helping to a final 11th position.
On 5 December 2015, Jairo scored a brace to help to a 3–1 away win against Hamburger SV.[15] On 2 March of the following year, he put the visiting team ahead at FC Bayern Munich after a 26th-minute cross from Giulio Donati, in an eventual 2–1 victory that handed the hosts their first home defeat of the campaign.[16]
Las Palmas
Free agent Jairo returned to Spain on 1 January 2018, signing with top-flight strugglers UD Las Palmas until 30 June.[17] His league debut took place 12 days later, when he started in a 6–0 away loss to Girona FC.[18]
Hamburger SV
Jairo moved back to Germany in the summer of 2018, with 2. Bundesliga club Hamburger SV.[19] He played just 19 matches in all competitions during his two-year spell at the Volksparkstadion – mainly due to a serious knee injury[20]– scoring in injury time of the 4–2 defeat of Karlsruher SC in the domestic league.[21]
Later career
On 29 September 2020, Jairo agreed to a two-year contract with second-tier Málaga CF.[22] He went abroad again in August 2022, on a one-year deal at Budapest Honvéd FC in the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[23]
Jairo remained in the country's top division on 24 January 2024, signing for Mezőkövesdi SE.[24] He returned to Spain one year later, joining Primera Federación side Sestao River Club on a short-term deal.[25][26]
On 4 July 2025, Jairo moved to the Indian Super League with NorthEast United FC.[27]
