Club career
Born in A Coruña, Juan Carlos was a product of local Deportivo de La Coruña's youth system, and made his official debut with the first team on 7 September 2011, playing the full 90 minutes in a 5–1 home win against Girona FC for the season's Copa del Rey.[1] He scored 15 goals for the reserves in 2011–12, in the fourth division.
On 3 June 2012, as Depor were already promoted to La Liga as champions, Juan Carlos made his league debut with the main squad, playing 28 minutes in a 1–0 away victory over Villarreal CF B.[2] He continued to appear regularly with the B-side, however.
On 14 January 2013, Juan Carlos was loaned to SD Huesca until June.[3] He scored his first professional goal late in the month, netting the first in a 2–1 away defeat of CD Numancia[4] but seeing the Aragonese club eventually suffer second-level relegation.
Juan Carlos returned to the Galicians in July, being definitely promoted to the first team also in division two.[5] He played 27 matches and scored three goals during the campaign, as Deportivo returned to the top flight at the first attempt.
On 2 April 2014, Juan Carlos was slapped by teammate Luisinho in the face after both argued during a training.[6] On 26 January of the following year, after being rarely used during the season, he terminated his contract with Depor[7] and joined second tier side CD Tenerife hours later.[8]
After a two-year spell in the Romanian Liga I with CFR Cluj, Juan Carlos returned to Tenerife after signing a two-year deal.[9] On 27 July 2018, he moved to UD Almería also of the second division after agreeing to a one-year contract.[10]
On 31 July 2019, free agent Juan Carlos joined his former club Huesca on a two-year deal after their top-tier relegation.[11]
