Club career

Born in Córdoba, Andalusia, Torres made his senior debuts with Atlético Malagueño, then moved to Real Jaén in the 2004 summer. In January 2005, after failing to appear with the club, he joined Córdoba CF B still in his native region.

In the following seasons Torres continued to play in Tercera División (plus one in the fifth level, with Villa del Río CF), representing Torredonjimeno CF, Motril CF and RSD Alcalá. With the latter he achieved promotion at the end of 2008–09 campaign, scoring three goals in 36 matches.

In July 2012 Torres returned to Jaén, with the club still in Segunda División B.[1] He netted once in 25 games in his first year, adding six appearances in the successful promotion playoffs.

On 1 September 2013, aged 29, Torres played his first professional match, featuring as a second-half substitute in a 2–4 away loss against CD Lugo.[2]
