Jesús de Miguel Alameda, Known as Demi, Passes Away at Age 30
Jesús de Miguel Alameda, the footballer widely known as Demi, has died at the age of 30, according to reports published by elcorreo.com. Born in Madrid on September 21, 1995, the left-footed forward spent his life playing football through the lower divisions and professional tiers of the Spanish leagues.
Demi began his development in the youth systems of CDE Lugo Fuenlabrada and CD Leganés. In the 2015-16 season, the nearly 1.90-meter-tall forward moved from Leganés’ Juvenil A squad to CD Leganés B in the Tercera División. Two years later, at age 20, he joined the Club de Fútbol Internacional de Madrid in the same division, scoring nine goals in 33 appearances to help secure the club’s promotion to Segunda División B.
Over the following seasons, Demi competed across Segunda División B and Tercera División before joining Unionistas CF in the Primera División RFEF for the 2021-22 campaign, where he scored 12 goals in 36 matches. At the start of 2023, he signed with CD Castellón, spending three seasons with the club and achieving a promotion that led to his debut in Segunda División.
In the summer of 2025, Demi moved to CD Tenerife, competing in Primera Federación and securing another promotion to Segunda División. Upon arriving at Tenerife, he scored six goals in his first five official matches, becoming the debutant with the best scoring record in the club’s 103-year history. He finished that season with 11 goals in the blue-and-white shirt, earning recognition from supporters at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López for his physical presence and hold-up play in the penalty area.
Beyond his on-field career, teammates across Fuenlabrada, Unionistas, Castellón, and Tenerife described Demi as a family-oriented, humble, and approachable individual. He also engaged actively in player advocacy as a board member of the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE), representing the rights of players throughout Spain’s professional divisions.
Demi is survived by his wife, María Fernández, and their daughter, Carla, who was born a year and a half prior to his passing. Tributes and condolences poured from clubs, former teammates, and sporting organizations across the country following the announcement.
