Football career

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Suárez came through local UD Las Palmas' youth system, making his senior debut with neighbouring Castillo CF whilst on loan. Upon his return, he then spent one full season with the B-team, in Tercera División; on 7 January 2007 he made his first official appearance for the main squad, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute in a 2–2 away against UD Salamanca for the Segunda División championship.

In the following seven campaigns, with the club always in the second level, Suárez acted almost exclusively as a backup, his best output consisting of 20 games in 2007–08. He scored the first of only three competitive goals during his tenure on 14 November 2007, in a 2–4 home loss to Villarreal CF for the Copa del Rey.

Suárez was loaned to fellow league side SD Ponferradina for 2010–11, appearing in only one sixth of the games and also suffering team relegation. In the 2013–14 season, he was not even given a jersey number and, in June 2014, left to sign with FC Inter Turku in the Finnish Veikkausliiga.

Suárez scored in his first-ever game in top flight football, helping Inter to a 2–1 home win over Turun Palloseura on 8 June 2014.

Personal life

Suárez's twin brother, Sergio, is also a footballer and a midfielder, and both played mostly for Las Palmas during their careers.
