Club career

Born in Reus, Tarragona, Catalonia, Piti was signed by Real Zaragoza in 2004 after playing almost exclusively in amateur football, notably scoring 23 goals for CF Reus Deportiu in Tercera División. During his spell in Aragon, however, he was mainly registered with the B-team – he appeared in three La Liga games, totalling 37 minutes – also being loaned to Ciudad de Murcia in Segunda División for the 2005–06 season.

In the summer of 2006 Piti joined Hércules CF in the second level, but, in January of the following year, he moved to Rayo Vallecano in Segunda División B, on loan. After featuring rarely for the Valencian in the first half of 2007–08 (six games, 120 minutes), he returned to Rayo and helped the Madrid outskirts team return to division two, scoring seven goals in 21 matches.

In the following second division seasons, Piti remained an important offensive player for Rayo Vallecano. In 2010–11 he contributed with nine goals – second-best in the squad, tied with Óscar Trejo – as the team returned to the top flight after an eight-year absence.

Piti came of age in the 2012–13 season, at the age of 31, scoring 18 goals in 35 games, only five through penalties, as Rayo posted its best campaign in the main category. Highlights included braces at Málaga CF (2–1) and Levante UD (3–2 win), and at home against Getafe CF (3–1).

In the following years Piti represented, always in the top division, Granada CF and (again) Rayo. On 3 January 2017 the 35-year-old moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Cypriot First Division club AEL Limassol until 30 June.

On 29 July 2017, PAS Lamia 1964 announced the signing of Piti.
