Club career
Spain
Born in Almassora, Castellón, Valencian Community, Pulga graduated from CD Castellón's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2004–05 campaign, in the regional leagues. On 28 August 2005 he played his first match as a professional, playing the last 19 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against UE Lleida for the Segunda División championship.[1]
Pulga scored his first professional goal on 11 September, netting his side's only in a 1–2 loss at Xerez CD.[2] He appeared in seven matches for the first team during the season, as his side narrowly avoided relegation, and moved to hometown's CE Almassora in the 2007 summer.
In July 2007 Pulga joined Logroñés CF, in Segunda División B. He resumed his career in the country in the third level, representing Villarreal CF B,[3] CD Toledo, UD Alzira, UB Conquense and CD Burriana,[4] the latter in the fifth, however.
Greece
In August 2012 Pulga moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Football League Greece side Iraklis Psachna F.C.. In July of the following year, after appearing sparingly, he moved to fellow league team Kallithea F.C..
Kerala Blasters
In August 2014 Pulga was announced in the international draft of the Indian Super League inaugural season.[5] On 21 August 2014 he was drafted by Kerala Blasters.[6]
