After beginning his football grooming with Atlético de Madrid, Tote moved crosstown in 1993, joining Real Madrid's youth ranks. Playing mainly with its B team, after having begun with Real Madrid C, he received his first team debut on 8 May 1999, as a late substitute in a 2–3 loss at Real Sociedad.
After an unsuccessful loan stint in Portugal with Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Tote was definitely promoted to the first team, but only appeared in three matches during the season, as Real were crowned champions. The following year, he was again loaned, now to Real Valladolid, and developed into a La Liga player, netting his first goal against Málaga CF on 16 September 2001 (2–1 away win). One month later, Tote added an hat-trick in a 4–1 triumph at Athletic de Bilbao.
Returning to Real, he only made one league appearance, at Recreativo de Huelva, being subsequently sold to Real Betis, on a five-year contract.[1] Injuries[2] and loss of form soon made him surplus to requirements and, during the 2005 January transfer window, he was loaned to neighbour side Málaga, where he failed to produce.
After a quick return spell with Valladolid, Tote signed a two-year link with another second division side, Hércules CF. In the 2009–10 season, he contributed with four goals in 35 matches (2,439 minutes) as the Alicante side returned to the top division, after 13 years.
