He could operate as either a defender or midfielder on the right side, and had his professional career marred by constant injuries. He appeared in 37 competitive games for Real Madrid.
Club career

A product of Real Madrid's youth academy, Miñambres was born in Fuenlabrada, Community of Madrid, and first appeared with the first team on 10 February 2002, playing 90 minutes in a 7–0 home thrashing of UD Las Palmas in his sole La Liga appearance in the season. He would also make his UEFA Champions League debut that year, appearing against FC Porto and setting up a goal for Santiago Solari in a 2–1 away win.
After years of battling with injuries and a loan at fellow league side RCD Espanyol in the 2004–05 campaign, Miñambres became a free agent after Real Madrid did not offer him a new deal. On 8 August 2007, Marca officially announced that he would play the next three years with second division's Hércules CF; the following day, however, he terminated his contract with the club because his knee was not fully recovered, and he immediately retired from football.
