Football career
editBorn in Fontanales, Moya, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Omar graduated from UD Las Palmas' youth system. On 15 June 2008, while still a junior, he made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–3 away loss against Albacete Balompié in the Segunda División;[2] at the age of 16 years and 206 days, he was the youngest player ever to debut for the club, surpassing Orlando Suárez's record.[3]
Omar was assigned to the reserves in the Tercera División, for the 2010–11 season. In July 2013, after achieving promotion to the Segunda División B, he rejected a new deal from the club,[4] and joined Atlético Granadilla also in the fourth level on 5 August.[5]
In October 2013, however, Omar rescinded his link and moved to fellow league team UD Vecindario.[6] On 22 January 2014 he left,[7] and signed an 18-month deal with CF Fuenlabrada in the third level.[8]
