Football career
Born in Jerez de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz, Toni started his career with hometown's Xerez CD, playing several seasons with the reserves, the first being 2006–07 in the fourth division. In late 2008 he was called up to train with first team, but again only appeared officially for the B-side.
Toni served as third-choice – backing up Renan and Chema in the 2009–10 campaign and playing understudy to Chema and Francisco Lledó in 2010–11 – in the following years. On 6 April 2011 he renewed his contract with the Andalusians, extending his link with the club until 2014.
On 20 May 2012, Toni made his debut as a professional, appearing in a second level game against Deportivo de La Coruña. He was promoted to backup for the 2012–13 season, starting the first seven matches as it ended in relegation.
