Club career
Atlético Madrid
A product of hometown Atlético Madrid's youth ranks, Madrid-born Keko made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 12 September 2009, taking the field as a 63rd-minute substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Racing de Santander, aged just 17. Speaking to Diario AS after the match, he said: "The truth is that I have always dreamed of playing in this stadium, despite the draw, it was a dream come true. I did not think about the protests outside the ground, and I only wanted to score. I hope to have more chances, but I have to be calm and see what the coach decides."[1]
Late in January 2010, Keko was loaned to fellow league club Real Valladolid, until the end of the season. He made his debut for his new team against Valencia CF, appearing as a late replacement in an eventual 0–2 away loss on 6 February.[2]
Keko split the 2010–11 campaign with two Segunda División sides, FC Cartagena and Girona FC,[3] appearing in 25 matches combined (nine starts, 952 minutes) as both managed to maintain their league status.
Catania
On 19 July 2011, after he failed to renew his contract with Atlético Madrid, Keko completed a transfer to Calcio Catania in Italy, signing a three-year deal and being awarded the No. 15 jersey at the Sicilian club.[4] On 7 January 2012, however, along with teammate Fabio Sciacca, he joined Serie B's U.S. Grosseto F.C. on loan.[5]
Keko scored on his Serie A debut on 24 February 2013, starting and contributing to a 2–1 away win over Parma FC.[6] He was released by Catania in May 2014.
Albacete
On 28 August 2014, Keko signed a 1+1 deal with Albacete Balompié, freshly promoted to the second level.[7] He totalled more than 2,500 minutes of action during his first and only season, notably scoring a brace in a 3–2 success at UE Llagostera on 21 May 2015 that confirmed the club's survival.[8]
Eibar
On 9 July 2015, Keko moved to SD Eibar in the top division after agreeing to a two-year contract.[9] He scored his first goal in the category on 30 December, netting the first in a 2–0 home win against Sporting de Gijón.[10]
International career
Keko participated in the 2008 UEFA European Under-17 Championship with Spain, helping his country to eventual victory in the tournament and scoring in the final, a 4–0 win over France.[11]
