Francisco Javier 'Javi' Ruiz Bonilla (born 15 March 1980) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.




Playing career


Born in Almería, Andalusia, Ruiz played for modest teams throughout the majority of his career (mostly in Catalonia), spending five seasons with FC Barcelona's reserves while occasionally training with their main squad. He also represented hometown's UD Almería in the Segunda División (only five games out of 42 in his only campaign).
Ruiz was bought by RCD Espanyol from AD Adra on 24 January 2008, as first-choice goalkeeper Carlos Kameni was away on international duty and backup Iñaki Lafuente injured. He left the club in June 2010, without any competitive appearances.
In October 2010, Ruiz signed for Polideportivo Ejido of Segunda División B. The following season he joined another side in that tier, CD Roquetas.
Ruiz won caps for Spain at under-18 level, starting over Iker Casillas who later starred for Real Madrid.




Coaching career


After retiring, Ruiz worked as a goalkeeper coach with K.A.S. Eupen under his compatriot Tintín Márquez, and Tianjin Tianhai F.C. under Paulo Sousa. In December 2023, following a spell in the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 in the same role, he reunited with the former at the Qatar national team.
