Born in Guadiaro, Province of Cádiz, Bezares started his career with Real Balompédica Linense, playing his first four seasons as a senior in Segunda División B, where he also represented Sevilla FC's reserves. On 1 February 2004, with the latter, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, fracturing his nose in a 0–1 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña.[1]
In the 2004 summer, Bezares joined Cádiz CF in Segunda División, being promoted in his first season but suffering relegation in his second. In the 2007–08 campaign he again dropped down a level, but contributed with 15 matches to the 2009 promotion (only one start, however, in 232 minutes of action).
Bezares moved abroad in January 2009, being loaned to Super League Greece club OFI Crete FC.[2] In August, he signed with Unión Estepona CF in the same situation[3] but, in January 2010, he terminated his contract and joined AEP Paphos FC in the Cypriot First Division;[4] one year later he changed teams and countries again, signing with FC Aktobe in Kazakhstan.[5]
In January 2012, Bezares returned to Spain and joined Segunda B club CF Villanovense.[6] On 21 July, after undergoing a successful trial,[7] he signed with another third-tier side, Gimnàstic de Tarragona,[8] leaving on 29 June of the following year after an agreement with the club for the extension of his contract was not reached.[9]
