Club career
Born in La Alberca, Salamanca, Castille and León, Pipo joined UCAM Murcia CF's youth setup in 2013, from AD Guadalupe.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 6 September 2015, starting in a 2–0 away win against Mazarrón FC, and scored his first senior goal seven days later in a 6–0 home routing of AD Alquerías.
After scoring eleven goals during the campaign and helping his side achieve promotion to Tercera División, Pipo signed a one-year extension to his contract on 22 June 2016.[1] He made his first team debut on 6 May of the following year, coming on as a late substitute for Iban Salvador in a 0–1 away loss against CD Numancia for the Segunda División championship.[2]
In 2018, Pipo left UCAM for SCR Peña Deportiva, winning the Balearic Islands group of the Tercera División and promotion in his first season. He then signed for UD Las Palmas Atlético in June 2019 before rescinding his contract within days and going back to his former team in Segunda División B.[3]
