Contents

Cádiz

Born in Los Barrios, Province of Cádiz, Tiri began his career at Cádiz CF. He was mostly associated to the reserves during his spell and only collected two first-team appearances, the first occurring on 10 May 2009 at the age of 17 as he played the final 25 minutes of a 2–1 Segunda División B away win against CD Guadalajara.

On 1 September 2010, Tiri played the full 90 minutes of a 3–1 home success over CE L'Hospitalet in the first round of the Copa del Rey, at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza.

Atlético Madrid

Tiri transferred to Atlético Madrid in 2012, being assigned to their B-side also in the third level. He was first-choice during his three-year spell, being relegated to Tercera División in his last season.

Atlético Kolkata

On 18 June 2015, Tiri signed for Indian Super League defending champions Atlético de Kolkata at the same time as compatriot Jaime Gavilán, joining Borja Fernández and Josemi in the club's Spanish contingent. An unused substitute for their first two matches of the campaign, he made his debut on 7 October by playing the entirety of a 1–1 draw at FC Goa in place of Arnab Mondal, who was away playing internationally for India; he totalled 1,170 minutes of action, in an eventual elimination in the semi-finals by Chennaiyin FC.

Tiri returned to Atlético Madrid and its B-team on 1 February 2016. However, before playing a game for them, on 16 March he agreed terms to go back to Kolkata for the next season.

One of Tiri's appearances during the campaign included the entirety of the final, a penalty shootout victory over Kerala Blasters FC on 18 December.

Marbella

On 24 January 2017, Tiri returned to Spain's third division, signing with Marbella FC in his native Andalusia.
