Club career

A product of Valencia CF's youth system - he arrived aged 15 from hometown's Albacete Balompié - Sisi first served loan stints in the second division, with Hércules CF and Real Valladolid, with a 2006–07 top flight promotion with the latter.

Whilst playing in the second-tier with Valladolid, the football site Goal.com mentioned him as one of the emergent talents in Spain.[1]

On July 2008, Sisi was sold by Valencia to La Liga outfit Recreativo de Huelva.[2] Midway through his first and only campaign, he was diagnosed with hepatitis A, being rendered unavailable for two months.[3] He made his return as a substitute on 4 April 2009, in a 0–1 home loss against neighbours Sevilla FC.[4]

On 24 August 2009, after Recreativo's relegation, Sisi returned to Valladolid, signing a three-year contract.[5] He scored on his debut, a 2–1 win at Real Zaragoza,[6] but was injured through most of the season, and suffered relegation for the second consecutive time.

International career

In the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship, Sisi was a key element for Spain, who finished runner-up to Brazil (0–1).[7] FIFA described Sisi in their Technical Report as a "...well-developed technique and ball control, fast and agile", as he was listed amongst the nation's Talented Players list.[8]

Two years later, he appeared against France in the 2005 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, as Spain failed to qualify for the final stages in Northern Ireland, losing 1–0 in the elite round.[9] In 2007, he progressed to the U21s.
