On 30 July 2017, Jiménez signed a three-year deal with Segunda División club Gimnàstic de Tarragona, after cutting ties with Málaga.[7] He made his professional debut on 20 August, starting in a 0–1 home loss against UD Almería.[8]

On 31 January 2019, after struggling with injuries, Jiménez terminated his contract with Nàstic[9] and signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa in the third division.[10] On 30 August, he moved to UE Cornellà also in division three.[11]

On 11 August 2020, Jiménez returned to the second division after agreeing to a one-year deal with CD Mirandés.[12] The following 16 June, he returned to Málaga on a two-year contract, now being assigned to the main squad also in the second division.[13]
