Club career
Rueda was born in Linares, Jaen, Andalusia. After arriving in FC Barcelona's youth system at the age of 13, he played three years with the B-team, two of those in the third division. On 17 May 2008 he made his La Liga debut, coming on as a substitute for Eiður Guðjohnsen for the final 15 minutes of a 5–3 away win against Real Murcia – in the season's last round – with the title race already decided in the Catalans' favour.
In 2009–10, Rueda was one of the most important attacking players of the reserve team led by former Barcelona player Luis Enrique, scoring four goals as the side returned to the second level after an 11-year absence. During the campaign, he was also named team captain.
In June 2010, alongside two other compatriots, including former Barcelona B teammate Victor Espasandin, Rueda signed with Cyprus team AC Omonia.
