Football career
After playing well into his 20s with modest clubs – Elche CF Ilicitano, Real Valladolid B, Villajoyosa CF and CD Alcoyano – Calvo had his first taste of professional football in the 2007–08 season, with second division's Xerez CD. On 13 June 2009 he became an integral part of the Andalusians' history, as he scored the 2–1 winner against SD Huesca which certified the club's first ever promotion to La Liga.
On 31 January 2010, as Xerez ranked last in the league, Calvo netted twice to help it come from behind against RCD Mallorca at home, in just the second win in 20 games. After the team's relegation he moved to Serie A side Udinese Calcio, for three years; however, on 13 July, he was transferred to Granada CF in the second level.
Calvo started in 15 of the league matches he appeared in his only season and scored three times, as the club achieved a second consecutive promotion. Still owned by the Italians, he spent the following campaign also in division two, with Hércules CF.
After his contract with Udinese expired, Calvo joined UD Almería on 1 September 2012. He spent the following years in the Superleague Greece, with Skoda Xanthi FC.
On 25 August 2015, Calvo returned to Spain after agreeing to a one-year deal with SD Huesca, newly promoted to the second level.
