Club Career

Deportivo

A product of Deportivo de La Coruna's youth ranks, Xisco was born in Palma, Majorca, Balearic Islands, and he made his La Liga debut on 16 April 2005 against Real Sociedad. His first (and second) goal arrived also that season, in a 2–2 away draw to Real Zaragoza on 15 May.

In 2007–08, after a season-long loan at Segunda Division's UD Vecindario, Xisco emerged as a top flight striker, scoring five goals in two matches: a hat-trick in a 3–1 home win over Real Murcia on 30 March 2008, adding two at Racing de Santander (same result) the following week.
