Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Velamazán was a youth graduate of FC Barcelona. He appeared 11 times for the first team during the 1995–96 season, under Johan Cruyff, but could never establish fully in the main squad, going on to have one-year spells with Real Oviedo, Albacete Balompié and CF Extremadura.

Incidentally, Velamazán would settle with Barça neighbours RCD Espanyol, where he played for six 1/2 years, although he started regularly in only two. His best season would be 1999–2000, as the player scored six goals in 34 matches and the club also won the Copa del Rey – only ranking 14th in the league however; after suffering a knee injury on 6 January 2002 against Málaga CF, he never fully recovered and eventually left the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in late December 2005.
