Sietes, who received his nickname from his birthplace, started playing for local giants Real Oviedo, first appearing with the main squad on 27 March 1994, in a 0–0 draw at Real Valladolid. With just nine La Liga games throughout the entire season, he did score two goals in back-to-back games, 3–0 successes over Athletic Bilbao and Atlético Madrid.
Signing with Valencia CF in 1995–96, Sietes was used sparingly over two seasons, and moved to Racing de Santander for 1997–98, where he would constantly battle top flight relegation (which would eventually befall in 2000–01, returning in the immediate following season).
After that, Sietes' career was unassuming, with stints mainly in the Spanish second level, punctuated by a season with Watford FC, in the English second division (no games played).[1]
After appearing in only five games for CD Numancia in 2007–08, as the Soria side returned to the top division after a three-year absence, Sietes moved to fourth-tier outfit CD Lealtad, in Villaviciosa, Asturias.
Sietes represented Spain at the 1996 Summer Olympics, appearing once for the quarterfinalists.[2]
