Expósito competed in 2010 INAS European Athletics Championship and picked up a pair of gold medals in the long jump and 100 meter events.[8] He qualified for and competed in the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships where he was one of thirty-two competitors representing Spain.[7] He competed in the 2011 INAS World Games, winning a silver medal in the 4x100 meter relay alongside Francisco Santiago, Alberto Palomo and Dionibel Rodríguez Rodríguez.[9]

He competed in the 2012 Spanish national championships held in San Javier.[3] In 2012, he was a recipient of a Plan ADOP €23,000 athlete scholarship with a €3,000 reserve and a €2,500 coaching scholarship.[10] He competed in the 2013 World Athletics Championships for people with intellectual disabilities hosted by the Czech Republic.

Paralympics

Expósito was part of the Spanish team at the 2000 Summer Paralympics. He competed in the javelin and shot put but it was in the 100m and long jump where he won gold medals.[15] Following a cheating scandal at the Sydney games, events for athletes with intellectual disability were excluded from the Paralympic program. They were reinstated at the 2012 Summer Paralympics[16] where, as in 2000, Jose Antonio won a gold medal in the T20 Long Jump event.[4][17]
