Football career
Born in Yecla, Region of Murcia, Juanto joined Villarreal CF in 2011 following a brief period with Albacete Balompié, being initially assigned to the C-team. On 21 January 2012 he made his Segunda División debut, starting for the reserves in a 0–1 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña.
Juanto scored his first goal as a professional on 3 March 2012, playing 28 minutes and contributing to a 4–3 home win over CD Alcoyano. He contributed with 16 games during the season, as both the first and the second teams dropped down a level.
Over the next two campaigns, Juanto scored 31 goals in 68 division three games, including all four of his team's efforts on 13 January 2013 in a win over CF Reus Deportiu, and a hat-trick on 17 February against UE Llagostera. He had one call-up to the main squad, remaining an unused substitute in the 1–1 La Liga home draw against Elche CF on 30 March 2014.
On 17 July 2014, Juanto signed a two-year deal with Real Murcia from the second tier. However, after the club's administrative relegation, he cut ties with it and moved to CE Sabadell FC also in the category. He scored twice during his tenure, equalising for a 1–1 draw at Real Zaragoza on 14 September and getting the only goal then being sent off in a home win over SD Ponferradina six days later, in an eventual relegation.
On 9 April 2015, Juanto terminated his contract with the Catalans and signed for UCAM Murcia CF in the third division hours later. On 14 July, he joined second tier side Llagostera; in the following transfer window, however, he was released, and moved to Portugal after penning a one-and-a-half-year deal with C.F. Os Belenenses. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 24 January, replacing Rafael Amorim at half-time and scoring in a 3–3 draw against Vitória S.C. at the Estádio do Restelo.

Juanto's older brother, Alfredo, is also a footballer and a forward. He too was brought up at Albacete.
