Football career

Born in Madrid, Benito began his career with local Rayo Vallecano, spending several seasons with the reserves and helping them promote to Segunda División B in 2010. On 30 January 2011 he made his debut with the first team, playing six minutes in a 3–0 away win against CD Numancia and totalling two appearances during the season as the club returned to La Liga after eight years.

Benito played again almost exclusively with the B-team in the 2011–12 campaign. On 12 February 2012 he played his first game in the top division, coming on as a substitute for Emiliano Armenteros in the dying minutes of a 2–0 home win against Getafe CF.[1]
