Football career
Born in Plasencia, Caceres, Rubio began his career with hometown's UP Plasencia, before moving to Villarreal CF in 2002 at the age of 15. He made his senior debuts with the latter's reserves in Tercera Division and, in the following season, appeared in preseason with first team, featuring in a friendly against RCD Espanyol; he also helped the B's achieve promotion to Segunda Division B in 2007.
In the 2007 summer Rubio was loaned to Talavera CF, and received the club's Trofeo Halcon at the end of the third level campaign, which ended in relegation. He subsequently returned to Villarreal, opting to rescind his contract with the club to join Ecija Balompie, also in division three.
For 2009–10 Rubio returned to the fourth division and signed for UD Almeria, being assigned to the B-team and finishing his first year with 39 appearances and seven goals to help it reach the third tier for the first time ever. He was team top scorer in the following season, with the club maintaining its league status.
On 27 June 2011, Rubio signed a contract with CD San Roque de Lepe. In January of the following year, after a string of good performances (with his side reaching the final phases of the Copa del Rey), he left and penned an 18-month deal with neighbouring Recreativo de Huelva, in Segunda Division.
Rubio made his debut as a professional on 4 February 2012, appearing as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Deportivo de La Coruna. He scored his first goal for Recre on 8 September, contributing to a 3–2 home success over Real Murcia.
On 20 August 2013 Rubio signed with Gimnastic de Tarragona, in the third level.
