Born in La Palma del Condado, Huelva, Andalusia,[2] Curro joined Sevilla FC's youth setup in 2007, aged 11. He made his debuts as a senior in the 2012–13 campaign, in Segunda División B.[3]
On 5 February 2015, Curro renewed his contract, signing a deal until 2017.[4] He made his first team debut on 2 December, starting in a 3–0 away win against UD Logroñés, for the season's Copa del Rey.[5]
Curro made his La Liga debut on 17 April 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for José Antonio Reyes in a 1–1 home draw against Deportivo de La Coruña.[6] He scored his first goal as a professional on 21 August, netting the first in the B-team's 3–3 Segunda División home draw against Girona FC.[7]
On 16 July 2019, Curro moved to second division side CD Numancia on a two-year deal.[8] He scored a career-best 13 goals for the club during the campaign, but was unable to avoid team relegation.
On 9 September 2020, Curro signed a one-year contract with SD Ponferradina, still in the second division.[9] The following 10 July, he agreed to a three-year deal with fellow league team UD Almería.[10]
Curro featured regularly for the Rojiblancos during the season, as his side achieved promotion to the top tier as champions. On 1 September 2022, however, he terminated his contract,[11] and signed a two-year deal with Burgos CF in the second division two days later.[12]
