Club career

Born in Avilés, Asturias, Cayarga joined Sporting de Gijón's youth setup in 2014, after already making his senior debut with SD Llano 2000. In July 2015, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to Tercera División side UP Langreo for one year.[1]

Upon returning, Cayarga agreed to a two-year contract and was assigned to the reserves, now also in the fourth tier.[2] He helped the B-team in their promotion in his first season, and scored a career-best nine goals in his second, as his side missed out a second consecutive promotion in the play-offs.

On 7 August 2018, Cayarga signed a two-year deal with Segunda División B side Racing de Santander.[3] He was a first-choice for the Cantabrian side, which achieved promotion to Segunda División.

Cayarga made his professional debut on 17 August 2019, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Málaga CF.[4] In January 2020 Cayarga terminated his contract with Racing de Santander.[5] On January 31, 2020 he signed the contract with FC Cartagena until 30 June with possible prolongation for the next season.[6]
