Jesús Everardo Rubio Quintero (born 24 December 1996) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Liga FPD club Herediano.
At club level, Rubio began his professional career with Murciélagos in 2015 in the Ascenso MX, also later playing for Murcielagos in Liga Premier before moving to Tacoma Defiance in 2019.
Rubio joined the youth teams of Deportivo Guamuchil F.C. as a child before earning first team call-ups for the 2011–12 Tercera División de México season at just 16 year old.
Rubio was eventually promoted with Murcielagos in 2014 playing in Liga Premier. With the team moving up to Ascenso MX in 2015, he began playing regularly at only 18 years old, mostly as defensive minded left-back.
After playing the 2018–19 season as captain of Murcielagos, with 28 appearances and 5 goals, Rubio was signed by Tacoma Defiance in the summer 2019 for the remaining part of the 2019 USL Championship season.
Rubio joined USL Championship side Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in January 2020. While the start of the 2020 season was delayed by months due to the Covid pandemic, Rubio quickly established himself as a starter and finished the season as leader in anticipations and clearances per match.
With the uncertainty around a delayed start in the USL 2021 season, Rubio opted to move to Chalatenango, signing initially until the end of the 2020–21 season. After just one tournament, Rubio signed on loan with Santos de Guápiles in June 2021.
At Santos, Rubio become immediately one of Costa Rica league toughest centrebacks due to his aerial power and man marking. Santos was semifinalist in his first tournament with the club and also qualified for Concacaf Champions League 2022.
