Club career
Born in Albal, Valencian Community, Ruiz was a product of Valencia CF's youth system. He made his senior debuts with the reserves when he was only 16, playing 19 Segunda División B games in 2011–12 and scoring one goal, in the 2–0 home win against CE Manacor. On 28 November 2012 he appeared in his first official match with the main squad, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 home win over UE Llagostera for the season's Copa del Rey.
Ruiz was loaned out to CD Tenerife for the 2013–14 campaign. He made his first appearance in Segunda División on 25 August, starting and being replaced in a 0–0 home draw against Hércules CF.
On 13 July 2015, after a further two full seasons with Valencia B, Ruiz was loaned to Granada CF in a season-long deal. He made his debut in La Liga on 24 August, starting and being sent off in the 56th minute of an eventual 1–3 home loss to SD Eibar.
