Career

Born in Valencina de la Concepción, Seville, Andalusia, Flores joined Real Betis' youth sides in 2015, aged 11.[1] He spent a year on loan at Calavera CF, before making his senior debut with the reserves on 9 April 2023, coming on as a late substitute for Santiago van der Putten in a 4–1 Segunda Federación away routing of CD Utrera.

On 3 August 2023, Flores renewed his contract with the Verdiblancos until 2025.[2] On 19 October of the following year, after establishing himself as a regular starter for the B's, he made his first team – and La Liga – debut, replacing Aitor Ruibal in a 2–1 away win over CA Osasuna.[3][4]
