Club career

edit

Born in Puerto Real, Cádiz, Andalusia, Lanchi joined Villarreal CF in May 2019, after representing Cádiz CF, Balón de Cádiz CF, UD Río San Pedro and San Fernando CD as a youth.[1][2] Initially assigned to the youth setup, he made his senior debut with the C-team on 1 September 2019, starting in a 1–0 Tercera División home win over CD Olímpic de Xàtiva.

On 20 May 2020, after already establishing himself as a regular for the C's, Lanchi renewed his contract with the Yellow Submarine until 2024.[3] He first appeared with the reserves on 29 November 2020, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Valencia CF Mestalla in the Segunda División B.

On 30 June 2022, after contributing with 11 appearances for the B-team as they achieved promotion to Segunda División, Lanchi returned to his first club San Fernando on loan, being now a part of the first team squad in Primera Federación.[4][5] Back to the Yellow Submarine in July 2023, he made his professional debut on 26 August, starting in a 1–0 away loss to Elche CF.[6]
