Club career
Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Expósito joined Málaga CF's youth setup in January 2015, after stints at AJ Unión La Paz, CD Verdellada, CD Paracuellos, Atlético Barranco Hondo and ADM Lorquí.[1][2] He made his debut with the reserves on 27 September of that year, coming on as a substitute for goalscorer Kuki Zalazar in a 5–0 Tercera División home routing of Atarfe Industrial CF.[3]
On 2 January 2016 he was loaned to fellow fourth tier club Deportivo Rayo Cantabria, until June.[4] After appearing regularly he moved to another reserve team, UD Las Palmas Atlético in the same division on 18 July.[5]
On 26 April 2017 Expósito made his first team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 0–3 away loss against CD Leganés.[6] On 16 June, he was promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2017–18 campaign.[7]
