Club Career

Born in Zamora, Castile and Leon, Salvador represented Zamora CF as a youth. On 7 April 2012, aged only 17, he made his senior debut by starting in a 2–0 home win against Sestao River for the Segunda Division B championship.

Salvador was promoted to the first team ahead of the 2012–13 season, and began to appear more regularly in the following campaigns. He scored his first senior goal on 5 January 2014, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against CD Guijuelo.

On 31 July 2015, after Zamora's relegation, Salvador joined fellow third-tier club CD Lealtad. However, Zamora announced that they retained the player seven days later, but he signed for Sestao on 1 September after rescinding his contract.

On 28 July 2016 Salvador moved to Sporting de Gijon, being initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera Division. He made his first team debut on 21 December, coming on as a late substitute for Nacho Cases in a 1–3 away loss against SD Eibar for the season's Copa del Rey.
