A product of hometown Atlético Madrid's youth ranks, Keko made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 12 September 2009, taking the field as a 63rd-minute substitute against Racing de Santander, in a 1–1 home draw, aged just 17. Speaking to Diario AS after the match, he said: "The truth is that I have always dreamed of playing in this stadium, despite the draw, it was a dream come true. I did not think about the protests outside the ground, and I only wanted to score. I hope to have more chances, but I have to be calm and see what the coach decides."[1]
Late in January 2010, Keko was loaned to fellow first-divisioner Real Valladolid, until the end of 2009–10. He made his debut for his new club against Valencia CF, appearing as a late replacement in an eventual 2–0 away loss, on 6 February.[2]
Keko split the 2010–11 season with two Segunda División sides, FC Cartagena and Girona FC,[3] appearing in 25 matches combined (nine starts, 952 minutes) as both clubs managed to maintain their league status.
On 19 July 2011, after he failed to renew his contract with Atlético Madrid, Keko completed a transfer to Calcio Catania in the Italian Serie A, signing a three-year deal and being awarded the #15 jersey at the Sicilian outfit.[4]
