Club career

Born in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Province of Cádiz, Kike played youth football with local club Atlético Sanluqueño CF, making his senior debut in the 2006–07 season in Tercera División. After returning to youth football with Villarreal CF, he joined UD Almería B also in the fourth level.

Kike left the Andalusians after two years (achieving promotion in his second), signing with another reserve team and also in his native region, Recreativo de Huelva B. On 26 September 2010 he made his first appearance with the main squad, starting in a 1–1 away draw against SD Ponferradina for the Segunda División.[1]

In June 2011, Kike joined Segunda División B side Real Betis B.[2] He continued to compete in that tier in the following campaigns, representing Sanluqueño,[3] Cádiz CF,[4] Racing de Ferrol,[5] Marbella FC[6] and Extremadura UD.[7] He achieved promotion to the second division in 2018 with the latter, contributing to this feat with ten goals.[8]
