He stood out at Racing for his goalscoring ability, which eventually drew the attention of Madrid FC, who signed him in 1917, and despite helping the club win the Centro Championships in 1917–18, and reach the 1918 Copa del Rey Final, starting in a 0-2 loss to Real Unión,[4] Rey returned to Racing at the end of the 1917–18 season, where he finished his career.
