Football career

Born in Alicante, Valencian Community, Llorens had to wait until the age of 26 to make his professional debuts, in the second division with UE Lleida. He went on to establish himself in the category with CD Leganés and Rayo Vallecano, winning a promotion with the latter, a club to which he would later be intimately connected; his first match in La Liga arrived at almost 30 in a 2–0 derby win at Atlético Madrid on 22 August 1999– Rayo finished the season ninth (best ever) and qualified for the UEFA Cup, via the fair play award.

In the summer of 2000, unwilling to leave the club, Llorens was nonetheless part of a package deal that sent him to precisely Atlético, by then in the second level. In January 2001, however, he returned to the top flight with CA Osasuna. Subsequently, he experienced two very different seasons at Deportivo Alavés: in his first he scored six goals in 36 games, four in penalties, and the Basque team qualified for Europe once again, but suffered relegation in the following campaign.

After three additional seasons in division two with modest Polideportivo Ejido, Llorens returned to Rayo at 37, helping it return to the second tier in his second year. In the following year, as the Madrid side eventually finished in mid-table, he was still going strong, aged nearly 40; he finished his second stint in June 2009, retiring shortly after with professional totals of 395 matches and 27 goals.
