Club career

Siverio was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, and joined UD Las Palmas' youth setup in 2015, after already having made his senior debut with CD Laguna de Tenerife.[1] He finished his formation in the following year, being initially assigned to the C-team in the regional leagues; during the season, he also appeared sparingly with the reserves, helping in their promotion to Segunda División B.[2]

In July 2018, Siverio moved to another reserve team, Rayo Cantabria in Tercera División.[3] On 18 November, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–3 home win against SD Barreda Balompié, and repeated the feat the following 17 March, in a 3–0 home success over CD Bezana.

Siverio made his first team debut for Racing de Santander on 19 May 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Quique Rivero and scoring the equalizer in a 2–2 home draw against UD Logroñés.[4] He also featured in a further two matches for the main squad during the play-offs as his side returned to Segunda División after a four-year absence.

On 30 June 2020, after scoring a career-best 24 goals during the campaign for the B's, Siverio signed a new contract with Racing until 2022.[5] He made his professional debut on 4 July 2020, replacing Sergio Ruiz in a 1–2 Segunda División home loss against Elche CF, which ensured his team's relegation.[6]

Personal life

Siverio's older brother Marco is also a footballer and a forward.[2] He notably represented the University of Delaware's Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens and EMF Atlético Unión Güímar.[7]
