Career

edit

Born in Pontevedra, Caloi kicked off his career in Spain with Tercera División side Alondras. In 2011, he moved to fellow club Choco.[1]

In May 2014, Caloi moved abroad for the first time and signed for Finnish club Honka where he joined fellow Spaniard Pablo Couñago.[2] He scored his debut goal for the club in a 4–1 defeat against Mariehamn.[3] In December, it was announced that Honka was relegated from the Veikkausliiga as they failed to pay a debt of 600,000 euros.[4]

Caloi moved to Finnish second tier club PK-35 in 2015 joining a host of Spanish compatriots. The season ended with the club winning promotion to Veikkausliiga.[5] In July 2016, he returned to Spain and signed for Segunda División B club Coruxo.[6] He left the club the following January and returned to Choco.[7]

In June 2015, Caloi switched clubs and countries and resigned for Finnish club Honka.[8]
