Club Career

Early years

Having started playing on the streets of his hometown of Jerez de la Frontera in Cadiz, Guiza used to hide behind trees in an attempt to avoid the running, despite being then coached by boyhood idol Kiko, who begun his professional career with local Cadiz CF. He eventually made it into his local club Xerez CD and, after one season there, first showed his eye for goal at Segunda Division B side Dos Hermanas CF, loaned immediately after RCD Mallorca bought him.
