Club career

[edit]

Born in Seville, Andalusia, Juanlu began his career with CD Los Caminantes at the age of six. In the following year, he moved to CD San Alberto Magno, and joined Sevilla's youth setup in 2015, aged 12.[1] On 13 August 2019, after finishing his formation, he signed his first professional contract with the latter club,[2] and was subsequently promoted to the reserves in the Segunda División B.

Juanlu made his senior debut at the age of 16 on 24 August 2019, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Yeclano Deportivo.[3] He scored his first senior goal on 18 November of the following year, netting the B's second in a 2–2 draw at Granada.[4]

Juanlu made his first-team debut on 15 December 2021, starting in a 1–1 away draw (6–5 penalty win) against Andratx in the season's Copa del Rey.[5] His La Liga debut occurred six days later, as he came on as a late substitute for Papu Gómez in a 1–1 home draw against Barcelona.[6]

On 8 August 2022, Juanlu joined Segunda División club Mirandés on a season-long loan.[7][8] He scored his first professional goal on 6 December, netting his team's second in a 2–2 draw at Leganés.

After the departure of Raúl Parra to Cádiz, Juanlu established himself as a regular starter for the Jabatos, but as a right back.[9]
