Career

Born in Fuente del Maestre, Badajoz, Extremadura,[1] González played for local sides CP Gran Maestre and Atlético San José before joining Extremadura UD's youth sides.[2] He made his senior debut with the C-team in the regional leagues at the age of 16, before featuring with the reserves in Tercera División.

In 2021, González moved to CD Badajoz and returned to the youth sides, but also featured rarely with the B-team in Tercera División RFEF. On 17 August 2022, he signed for UD Las Palmas and was assigned to the Juvenil squad.[3]

Promoted to the Amarillos's B-team ahead of the 2023–24 season, González made his first team debut on 31 October 2023, coming on as a late substitute for Juanma Herzog in a 3–0 away win over CE Manacor, for the campaign's Copa del Rey.[4] He made his professional – and La Liga – debut the following 13 January, replacing Munir El Haddadi late into a 3–0 home win over Villarreal CF.[5]

On 31 July 2024, González moved on loan to Unionistas in the third tier.[6]
