Born in Seville, Andalusia, Férez finished his formation with Real Madrid, being promoted to the reserves in the 1985 summer. He made his debut as a professional on 2 November 1986, starting in a 0–3 away loss against Recreativo de Huelva for the Segunda División championship.

Subsequently, Férez moved to neighbouring Rayo Vallecano also in the second level, earning promotion in his second season but being relegated in his third. With his following club, CP Mérida, he appeared initially as a first-choice but was subsequently overtook by Francisco Leal.
