Club Career

Recreativo

Born in Huelva, Andalusia, Chuli spent his first year as a senior with RCD Espanyol's B team, appearing sparingly and suffering relegation from Segunda Division B. On 22 January 2011 he scored his first goal as a senior, in a 4–0 home win against CF Amposta for the Tercera Division. In the summer of 2011 he joined Recreativo de Huelva, initially being assigned to the reserves also in the fourth level; he first played officially with the main squad on 16 May 2012, against Cordoba CF.

Chuli was definitely promoted to Recre's first team for 2012–13, after scoring 22 goals with the B's the previous season, featuring in the very first game of the campaign against Xerez CD. On 8 September he netted twice and won a penalty, in a 3–2 home victory over Real Murcia.

On 6 October 2012, Chuli continued with his form, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–2 home defeat of AD Alcorcon; one of the goals was Recreativo's 1,500th in Segunda Division.
