Juvenal played in the lower leagues in four of his first five years as a senior, including three with RCD Espanyol's reserves, who loaned him to Levante UD in 2001, in his first professional experience (Segunda División). In the 2003–04 season, he was part of Racing de Santander's La Liga roster, but did not appear in the competition for the Cantabrians, also being released in the January transfer window.
In the following two seasons, Juvenal played in the second level, achieving top flight promotions with both Deportivo Alavés and Recreativo de Huelva. In 2006–07, he failed that objective with CD Tenerife, also appearing in less than one 1/2 of the matches.
After one season in Segunda División B with FC Cartagena, 29-year old Juvenal returned to his hometown and signed for CE Sabadell FC, contributing with 34 games and five goals in his third year as the Arlequinats returned to level two after an absence of 18 years.
Juvenal made his debut for Equatorial Guinea in 2003. Between that year and 2008, he appeared eight FIFA World Cup qualification matches, scoring on 7 June 2008 in a 1–4 away defeat against South Africa, for the 2010 edition.[1]
In 2007, he had B matches vs. the Region of Murcia[2] and Extremadura.[3]

Juvenal's younger brothers, Alberto and José, are also footballers. The former, a forward, also represented Sabadell, but played almost exclusively in the lower divisions, with a brief spell with UE Sant Andreu in the third level.
The latter never competed in higher than the regional divisions.[4]
