Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Carlos kicked off his career with Cerdanyola del Vallès FC and subsequently represented other lower division clubs. In 2012, he signed for UE Olot of the same tier. In his first season with the club, he scored 31 goals which included a hat-trick against Arandina CF and five goals in the promotion play-offs. At the end of the season, the club was promoted to the Segunda División B.[1]

On 3 July 2015, Carlos signed for the reserve team of Villarreal after having scored 57 goals for Olot.[2] On 30 August, he scored for the first time for his new club by finding the net twice in a 2–0 victory against his former club Olot.[3]

On 23 July 2017, after two years with Villarreal B, Carlos moved abroad and joined Japanese J2 League club Tokyo Verdy managed by Miguel Ángel Lotina.[4] On 3 July 2018, he returned to Spain and joined Hércules CF.[5]
