Football career

Born in Calvià, Balearic Islands, Juan Carlos was a product of Villarreal CF's youth ranks. He made his debut for the first team on 13 April 2008 in a 0–1 loss away loss against UD Almería, subbing in for sent off Diego López in the 18th minute.[1] Previously, he was the undisputed starter for the reserves during three full seasons, starting in all the games he appeared in, including in 2008–09 as they promoted to the second division for the first time ever.

During the 2007–08 and 2008–09 campaigns in La Liga, Juan Carlos was third-choice behind López and Sebastián Viera. In 2010–11 he was promoted to backup, but still did not manage to appear in any league matches.

On 12 July 2011, Juan Carlos was loaned to Valencian Community neighbours Elche CF in the second level.[2] On 9 July 2015, he terminated his contract with the Yellow Submarine after being sparingly used,[3] and signed a two-year contract with Albacete Balompié a day later.[4]

On 8 July 2016, after Alba's relegation, Juan Carlos signed a two-year deal with Real Oviedo also in division two.[5] Midway through the 2017–18 season he lost his starting spot to Alfonso Herrero, and left the club as his contract expired.[6]

On 23 July 2018, Juan Carlos agreed to a two-year contract at CD Numancia still in the second tier.[7]
