Football career
Born in Madrid, Matías was an unsuccessful Real Madrid youth graduate, only playing for its B-side for three seasons, two of those in Segunda División. In 1996–97 he was released and stayed in that level, appearing regularly and being relegated with UD Almería.
After a couple of months with CD Logroñés, also in division two, Matías left his country, going on to play in the following decade for six teams in The Football League in England: Macclesfield Town, Tranmere Rovers, Walsall – by far his biggest spell with any club in the country, five seasons – Blackpool (where he scored once against Brighton), Bristol Rovers and Kidderminster Harriers (netting against Grimsby). On 24 March 2001, whilst playing for the Saddlers, he scored a hat-trick in a 5–1 home win over Wycombe Wanderers, being crucial to the club's promotion; in the following campaign he also figured prominently as Walsall finished 18th and out of the relegation zone, notably scoring twice in a 3–2 home success against Rotherham United.
In 2005, at nearly 32, citing personal reasons, Matías returned to Spain and signed with lowly Gimnástica Segoviana CF in Tercera División, helping the Castile and León club win its group albeit without a final playoff promotion. Subsequently, he saw out the remainder of his career in amateur football.
