Football career
Guerrero was born in Madrid. An unsuccessful youth graduate at Real Madrid, he also had loan stints with Real Jaén and Terrassa FC – respectively in the second and third divisions – before being released in the 1999 summer, after which he signed with Albacete Balompié in the former category, scoring 20 league goals in two seasons combined.
In the 2001–02 campaign, Guerrero helped Racing de Santander achieve La Liga promotion, going on to establish as first-choice for the Cantabria club in the subsequent years and netting an average of 11 goals per season. For 2005–06 he joined Celta de Vigo, although he would appear sparingly as the Galician team qualified to the UEFA Cup.
Guerrero moved in July 2006 to Recreativo de Huelva (initially on loan), making the move permanent for the 2007–08 season. On 18 May 2008, his last-minute goal in a 1–1 home game against Real Valladolid helped the Andalusians retain their top flight status.
After a weak 2008–09 campaign (only two goals, club relegation), the 32-year-old returned to the second level, signing a two-year deal with UD Las Palmas and being the Canary Islands side's top scorer in his first two seasons at 11 and 12 respectively. In spite of still having one year left in his contract, he retired at the end of the 2012–13 season with Las Palmas still in division two, aged nearly 37.
Guerrero remained attached to his last club, as a match scout.
