Football career

Pulido arrived in Atlético Madrid's youth system at the age of 10. He made his senior debuts in the 2009–10 season, appearing with the B team in the third division.

On 10 November 2010, Pulido made his official debut with the Colchoneros's first team, playing the entire 1–1 home draw against Universidad de Las Palmas CF, in the season's Spanish Cup (6–1 aggregate win). On 15 May 2011, benefitting from injuries to Diego Godín and Luis Perea and the suspension of Tomáš Ujfaluši, he made his first La Liga appearance, playing the full 90 minutes (with a good overall performance) and being booked after committing a penalty in a 2–1 home win against Hércules CF,[1] as the club finally qualified to the UEFA Europa League.
