Football career

From 1998 to 2010 Quini played exclusively in the lower leagues of Spanish football, representing nine teams including CA Pinto (two spells). In the 2009–10 season he scored 20 goals in 35 games for CD Leganés, also in the Community of Madrid.

At the age of already 30, Quini made his second division debuts, with AD Alcorcón, with which he had already played six years before. He finished the 2010–11 campaign with 22 goals, fifth-best in the competition, as the club easily retained its newly acquired status; highlights included a hat-trick against Girona FC (3–1 home win) and braces against SD Ponferradina (2–0, home), Xerez CD (3–1, home), Córdoba CF (2–1 at home), UD Las Palmas (5–0, home) and CD Tenerife (3–2 home success).
