Club career

Docal was born in Santander, Cantabria. A product of local giants Racing de Santander's youth system, he made his first-team debut on 19 August 2012, starting in a 0–1 home loss against UD Las Palmas for the Segunda División championship.[1] He scored his first professional goal the following 23 March but in another defeat, this time 2–3 at CD Lugo;[2] he finished his first season with the main squad with 14 starts and 1,314 minutes of action, suffering relegation.

On 14 July 2013, Docal signed with fellow second level club CD Mirandés.[3] He returned to Racing the following year,[4] and subsequently had abroad spells with FK Senica (Slovak Super Liga) and FC Dynamo Brest (Belarusian Premier League) before returning to Spain in 2018 with Gimnástica de Torrelavega.[5]

Docal's cousin, Sergio Canales, is also a footballer.[6]

gollark: I read a random internet website™ on automatic differentiation and how it is apparently much better than regular symbolic differentiation, so of course this is to occur.
gollark: I have some approximate ideas of hardware; osmarkscalculator™️ would use a memory LCD thing, a higher-powered ARM SoC (an STM32 or whatever?), and probably run Lua if it was to be programmable.
gollark: Prototypes will be available for the low price of £106.50 each, subject to inflation.
gollark: This is why all are to osmarkscalculator™, if I ever learn enough hardware things™, finalize the design whatsoever and bother enough to make it work.
gollark: Now, how can I get overly high precision floats or something...
