Club career
editIn his country, Espada never played in higher than Segunda División B. He represented seven teams in the category, his best year being with Talavera CF in 2005–06 when he topped group IV's scoring charts to help his team to the 14th position; he also competed in that level with Mérida UD, Ciudad de Murcia, Zamora CF, UD Marbella, Racing de Ferrol, Águilas CF, CF Atlético Ciudad and Écija Balompié.
In July 2010, Espada signed for Romanian club FCM Târgu Mureş as a free agent.[1] However, after only a few months with the Liga I side, he returned to his country, joining another team in division three, Ontinyent CF.
