José Luis 'Pepelu' Vidal Romero (born 27 August 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Atlético Antoniano as a forward.

Club career

Born in Lebrija, Province of Seville, Vidal joined Real Betis' youth setup in 2006, aged 11.[1] On 30 July 2013 he signed a contract extension with the Andalusians.[2]

On 28 November 2013, while still a junior, Vidal made his first-team debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 away loss against Lyon in that season's UEFA Europa League.[3] On 20 January 2015, after appearing rarely with the reserves, he was loaned to Tercera División club Algeciras CF until June.[4]

On 24 July 2015 Vidal was released by the Verdiblancos.[5] He subsequently joined Recreativo de Huelva, being initially assigned to the reserves in the regional leagues.

Pepelu joined Club Atlético Antoniano in December 2015. After scoring 15 goals in 20 appearances, he signed for Getafe CF B on 5 August 2016.[6]

On 28 October 2016, Pepelu returned to Atlético Antoniano, after receiving little playing time at Geta.[7]
