Club career

Born in Mérida, Extremadura, Lolo began his career with Real Valladolid's youth sides, and made his senior debuts in 2010–11 for the B-team in the Tercera División. On 20 August 2012 he appeared in his first official game with the main squad, playing the last four minutes in a 1–0 La Liga away win against Real Zaragoza, the first matchday of the season.[1]

Lolo signed for S.L. Benfica in Portugal on 2 August 2013 in spite of being threatened by his former club,[2] which later led to compensation as his link was not severed by mutual consent.[3] He was assigned to the reserves and played his first match for them on the 26th, coming from the bench in the 81st minute of the Segunda Liga home fixture against Portimonense S.C. and scoring the final goal in a 3–0 win.[4]

On 30 August 2014, Lolo was loaned to Segunda División's CD Lugo on a season-long deal.[5] The following summer, he joined Segunda División B side Cádiz CF also on loan.[6]

In the 2016 off-season, Lolo was acquired by Mexican club Club Necaxa, but was immediately loaned back to CD Toledo of the Spanish third level.[7] He helped them finish second in their group, and then signed for fellow third-tier team Elche CF in July 2017.[8]

Lolo contributed two goals in Elche's promotion campaign (five across all competitions),[9] but spent the following season on loan at Recreativo de Huelva[10] and Valencia CF Mestalla.[11] On 14 July 2019, he signed a two-year contract with Gimnàstic de Tarragona,[12] but was unregistered from the main squad the following transfer window due to poor performances, and terminated his contract in March 2020.[13]

gollark: And you can't get around it (without breaking the ToS) because of the ridiculous custom client thing.
