Club career

Born in La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz, Andalusia, Tete joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup on 18 January 2014, after stints at AD Taraguilla and Atlético Zabal.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 2 April 2015, starting in a 1–4 Tercera División away loss against Internacional de Madrid CF.

Tete scored his first senior goal on 19 April 2015, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 home win against rivals Real Madrid C. He was promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2015–16 season, with the side now in the fourth tier.[2]

On 31 August 2016, Tete signed a one-year deal with Segunda División B club CD Atlético Baleares.[3] The following 9 July, he agreed to a four-year contract with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in Segunda División.[4]

Tete made his professional debut on 20 August 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Juan Delgado in a 0–1 home loss against UD Almería.[5] He scored his first professional goal the following 4 March, netting the opener in a 1–2 home loss against CD Tenerife.

On 25 January 2019, Tete was loaned to fellow second division side CD Lugo for six months.[6] On 30 June, after avoiding relegation, he was bought by the Galicians due to an obligatory clause on his contract; he signed a permanent deal until 2022.[7]

On January 30, 2020 he signed a one-and-a-half year contract with Málaga CF.[8]
