Born in Madrid, Nacho played lower league and amateur football in his first three years as a senior, representing Fútbol Alcobendas Sport, CA Osasuna B and Getafe CF B. In the 2012 summer he signed with another club from Segunda División B, Rayo Vallecano's reserves.

Nacho scored his first goal as a professional on 20 December 2012, netting from 30 metres for his team's second in a 3–0 league success against Levante UD. On 31 May 2013, after contributing with ten games to his team's top flight permanence, he was definitely promoted to the main squad, with a contract running until June 2015.
On 6 July 2017, after five full seasons with Rayo, Nacho signed a two-year contract with Real Valladolid in Segunda División.
