Football career

An unsuccessful FC Barcelona youth graduate (he only played with its C and B sides for five years), Peña went on to establish himselft as a professional with Albacete Balompié, in the second division, appearing in well over 100 official matches during three seasons.

For 2009–10, he stayed in the category, signing with Recreativo de Huelva for four years.[1] He continued to be first-choice at his new club but, after only one season, moved to Real Valladolid, freshly relegated from the top flight.
