Club career

Born in La Seca, Province of Valladolid, Castile and León, Fonseca amassed La Liga totals of 209 games and 50 goals during 11 seasons, representing Real Valladolid (nine years), RCD Espanyol and Albacete Balompié. He made his debut in the competition on 5 February 1984 whilst at the service of the first club, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Real Zaragoza and scoring his team's goal.

In the 1991–92 campaign, Fonseca netted a career-best 15 goals, but Valladolid suffered relegation after ranking second from bottom. In Segunda División, he appeared for CD Málaga (on loan) and Espanyol – achieving promotion in 1994 – retiring in 1996 at the age of 30.

International career

Fonseca gained four caps for Spain in a seven-month span, three of those appearances being friendlies. His first arrived on 19 February 1992, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw to the CIS in Valencia.
