Football career

Born in Huelva, Andalusia, Ruiz finished his graduation with Atlético Madrid's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the C-team in Tercera División. On 5 August 2013 he moved to CD Leganés, in Segunda División B.[1]

Ruiz appeared in 28 matches during his debut campaign, as the Madrid side were promoted to Segunda División after a ten-year absence, and signed a new one-year deal on 7 July 2014.[2]

On 24 August 2014 Ruiz played his first match as a professional, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Deportivo Alavés.[3] He contributed with 20 appearances during the 2015–16 season, as his side achieved promotion to La Liga for the first time ever.

On 2 August 2016, free agent Ruiz signed for Cádiz CF, still in the second division.[4] The following 28 June, after appearing rarely, he moved to fellow league team CD Lugo.[5]

On 5 August 2019, Ruiz agreed to a one-year deal with Deportivo de La Coruña also in division two.[6]
