[edit] Club career

He began his career playing for Sporting de Gijón's 'B' team in the 1994/95 season, joining Valencia's 'B' team the following season. He spent 1996/97 on loan at Villarreal, before returning to Valencia in the summer of 1997. Never an undisputed starter, he amassed more than 300 appearances in his first ten professional years at Valencia.

On 20 December 2007 Angulo, along with Santiago Cañizares and David Albelda, was axed from the Valencia squad by new boss Ronald Koeman.^[1]

In late April, however, with Koeman's sacking, all three were reinstated by new manager Voro in a squad seriously threatened with relegation, with five remaining rounds. On April 27, 2008, in a 3-0 home win over CA Osasuna, he returned to action, playing 5 minutes after having subbed David Villa. On May 11, he started his first post-reinstatement match, scoring in a 5-1 away routing of already relegated Levante UD.
