Club career
Kepa was born in Marbella, Province of Málaga. Brought up through the ranks of Sevilla FC, he played two La Liga games with the first team in the 2004–05 season, and established himself as an important offensive player with the Andalusia club in the following two years, but almost exclusively as a substitute.
In 2006–07, even after having scored a hat-trick against Levante UD in the league opener, and another three goals in the victorious campaign in the UEFA Cup, he fell out of favour and, on 22 January 2007, agreed a loan move to West Ham United in the Premier League until the end of the campaign, with the option of a permanent transfer available; on his debut for the Hammers, eight days later, he netted in the 77th minute after only being on for 70 seconds with his first touch of the game against Liverpool.
In July 2007, Kepa penned a four-year deal with first division's Getafe CF, with Sevilla retaining the option of repurchasing the player the next season or the one after that. During his first year he appeared sparingly for the UEFA Cup quarter-finalists, scoring in a 2–0 home win over Real Murcia after coming from the bench on 21 October but also being sent off after kicking an opponent; from that moment onwards he rarely had a match, not even in the Copa del Rey (nine league games in two full seasons combined).
On 5 August 2010, Kepa was sold to Recreativo de Huelva in Segunda División, as Adrián Colunga moved in the opposite direction. He appeared in only 19 games out of 42 in his first year, being released from contract in April 2012 after no official minutes in the campaign whatsoever.
In 2014, after one season in the second level with CD Guadalajara, where he was also sparingly played and also suffered team relegation, and one year of inactivity, 30-year-old Kepa retired from football, being appointed assistant coach at amateurs UD San Pedro in his native region shortly after.
