Club career

[edit | edit source]

Recreativo

[edit | edit source]

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 División B. On 22 January 2011 he scored his first goal as a senior, in a 4–0 home win over CF Amposta in the Tercera División.[1] He signed for Recreativo de Huelva that summer, initially being assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division; he first played officially with the main squad on 16 May 2012, against Córdoba CF.[2]

Chuli was promoted to the first team in 2012–13 after scoring 22 goals with the B's the previous season,[3] featuring in the first game of the campaign against Xerez CD.[4] On 8 September, he netted twice and won a penalty in the 3–2 home victory over Real Murcia CF.[5]

Chuli continued with his form on 6 October 2012, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–2 home defeat of AD Alcorcón; one of the goals was Recreativo's 1,500th in the Segunda División.[6] He finished the season with 15 goals (in the league and overall), helping the oldest club in Spain easily avoid relegation.[7]

Betis

[edit | edit source]

On 8 May 2013, Chuli joined neighbouring Real Betis on a four-year contract, for a fee of €600,000.[8] He made his La Liga debut on 25 August by playing roughly 30 minutes in a 1–2 home loss against RC Celta de Vigo,[9] and scored his first goal for his new club on 7 November, again coming as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 victory at Vitória S.C. in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[10]

On 1 September 2014, Chuli was supposed to move on loan to Real Zaragoza in a season-long deal,[11] but nothing came of it.[12] On 7 January 2015, he was loaned to CD Leganés until June.[13]

Almería

[edit | edit source]

On 9 July 2015, Chuli signed a five-year deal with UD Almería, recently relegated from the top flight.[14] The following 31 January, he scored a brace in a 2–1 home defeat of Zaragoza.[15]

Getafe

[edit | edit source]

Chuli joined Getafe CF on loan on 31 January 2017, with Karim Yoda moving in the opposite direction.[16] After contributing five goals (including a brace in a 4–0 home win over his former club Almería)[17] as his side achieved top-tier promotion, he agreed to a permanent contract.[18]

On 12 December 2017, after making no league appearances during the campaign, Chuli was loaned to second-division CD Lugo until the following 30 June.[19] The following 14 August, he moved to fellow league team Extremadura UD also in a temporary deal.[20]

Later career

[edit | edit source]

On 28 August 2019, Chuli returned to his hometown team of Recreativo de Huelva in the third tier. Despite arriving at a team tipped for promotion,[21] they suffered a double relegation to the fifth division due to league restructuring in May 2021.[22]

Chuli signed for Hércules CF of the new Segunda División RFEF in September 2021.[23]
