José María Martín Bejarano-Serrano (born 6 December 1987), commonly known as José Mari, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Cádiz CF as a defensive midfielder.
He spent most of his career in the lower leagues of his country, competing in La Liga with Zaragoza and Levante, and also played a season with the Colorado Rapids in the United States.
Born in Rota, Cádiz, Andalusia, José Mari played amateur football until the age of nearly 22, representing Unión Deportiva Roteña and Atlético Sanluqueño CF. In the 2009 summer he joined Real Murcia Imperial in Segunda División B, being relegated in his first and only season.
Subsequently, José Mari stayed in that level, spending two years at Real Jaén. In the 2012 summer he moved straight to La Liga, signing for two years with Real Zaragoza and initially being assigned to the reserves after the preseason was over; however, he managed to convince first-team coach Manolo Jiménez and, in August, was definitely promoted.
José Mari made his professional – and top level – debut on 20 August 2012, playing the second half in a 0–1 home loss against Real Valladolid. He finished the campaign with 27 appearances all competitions comprised, scoring once in the Copa del Rey, but the Aragonese were eventually relegated.
