Club career

edit

Vega was born in Mérida, Badajoz, Extremadura. He made his senior debuts with Real Valladolid's reserve team in the 2014–15 campaign, in Segunda División B, aged only 17.

On 15 October 2014 Vega played his first match as a professional, starting in a 2–0 home win over Girona FC for the season's Copa del Rey.[3] The remainder of his spell at the club was limited to the B-team, however.

On 2 July 2018, Vega moved to another reserve team, Celta de Vigo B also in the third division.[4] He continued to appear in that category in the following years, representing UD Melilla and Extremadura UD.[5]

After stints with Alcoyano and Real Murcia, Vega made his first career move abroad in the summer of 2024, when he joined Polish second-tier club Polonia Warsaw on 26 July.[6]
