Career

edit

López was born in Málaga, Andalusia, and was a Málaga CF youth graduate.[1][2] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 31 October 2021, starting in a 1–0 Tercera División RFEF away win over Alhaurín de la Torre CF.[3]

In June 2023, after establishing himself as a regular starter for the B-team, López was promoted to the main squad to act as a backup option.[4][5] A backup to Alfonso Herrero, he made his first team debut on 1 November, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Barakaldo CF, for the season's Copa del Rey, saving two penalties in the shoot-out as the club won 4–2.[6]

On 13 December 2023, López renewed his contract with the Blanquiazules until 2027.[7] He featured in a further two matches during the campaign, both in the cup, as the club achieved promotion to Segunda División.
