Club career
Toti was born in Salamanca, Castile and León. A UD Salamanca youth graduate, he made his senior debut with the reserves in 2005–06, in Tercera División, while still a junior; he appeared with the main squad in the same season, playing six games as they returned to Segunda División at the first attempt.
Toti featured in his first match as a professional on 16 June 2007, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win against Ciudad de Murcia.[1] He was definitely promoted to the first team in August, and scored his first goal on 8 June of the following year, netting the second of a 3–1 home victory over RC Celta de Vigo.[2]
In August 2011, after suffering relegation from the second level, Toti signed for Granada CF[3] and was immediately loaned to Segunda División B's Cádiz CF.[4] On 31 August of the following year, he joined Hércules CF of the second tier also in a temporary deal.[5]
On 30 August 2013, Toti moved to fellow league team Deportivo Alavés in a season-long loan.[6] On 10 July of the following year, after appearing in 31 competitive matches and scoring four goals, he signed permanently for the club.[7]
