Football career

Aged 23, he was released and moved to Spain with lowly Real Oviedo Vetusta – Real Oviedo's reserves – never appearing officially for the main squad.
In the third division Pendín played with Burgos CF, promoting in 2001 but being relegated the following year. He continued to be a regular in the following seasons in the second level, with Andalusia's Xerez CD.
Aged already 32, Pendín moved to CD Castellón also in division two, amassing nearly 100 official appearances for the Valencian side. After the club's relegation at the end of the 2009–10 campaign, the veteran continued in the country, signing with third level's Pontevedra CF.
