editBorn in Albacete, Castile-La Mancha, Pulpo was an Albacete Balompié youth graduate. He made his seniors debut with Atlético Tarazona in 2006, in Tercera División.
On 17 August 2008, Pulpo first arrived in Segunda División B, after joining Real Murcia Imperial.[1] On 18 July 2010, he moved to CD Leganés, also in the third division.[2]
