Club career
Born in Córdoba, Andalusia, Flores finished his youth career with Córdoba CF, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2004–05 season. He was promoted to the main squad in the following year, and achieved promotion to Segunda División in 2007.
Flores missed most of the 2007–08 campaign due to injury, and only played his first game as a professional on 16 March 2008, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–1 away draw against UD Salamanca.[1] In the following years he featured regularly, being released in July 2011.
On 1 September 2011, Flores joined Segunda División B club Getafe CF B.[2] After scoring a career-best ten goals in his first and only season, he moved to Elche CF in the second level.[3]
On 5 August 2012, during a friendly match with AD Alcorcón, Flores suffered a knee injury[4] which kept him sidelined until April of the following year.[5] He made his La Liga debut on the last day of 2013–14, featuring 73 minutes in a 1–3 away loss to Sevilla FC.[6]
On 4 June 2014, Flores terminated his contract with the Valencians[7] and moved to Real Murcia in the third division on 2 September.[8]
