Club career
editBorn in Seville, Andalusia, Samu was a product of hometown Sevilla FC's youth system,[1] and made his senior debut in 2008 at the age of only 16, with the club's C team. He signed a professional contract in 2011, and was promoted to the reserves in the Segunda División B.[2]
On 17 February 2013, Samu cut ties with Sevilla and joined Segunda División side CE Sabadell FC.[3][4] He made his league debut seven days later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against Xerez CD.[5]
Samu signed a two-year deal with Córdoba CF on 31 May 2013.[6] He appeared in 25 matches during the campaign, as the Blanquiverdes returned to La Liga after a 42-year absence.[7]
On 21 August 2014, Samu agreed to a new two-year contract, being immediately loaned to second-tier CD Lugo in a season-long move.[8] On 14 January of the following year, he moved to UE Llagostera of the same league also in a temporary deal.[9]
On 12 August 2015, Samu returned to Llagostera in a one-year loan.[10] He scored his only professional goal on 14 February 2016, opening the 2–0 home victory over Albacete Balompié[11] as the campaign ended in relegation from division two.[12]
On 9 February 2018, after seven months without a club, Samu signed a short-term deal with Swedish Allsvenskan's GIF Sundsvall.[13] On 29 June, he returned to Spain and its second division after agreeing to a contract at UD Almería.[14]
Samu spent the first half of the season nursing an ankle injury, and subsequently terminated his contract on 18 January 2019.[15] Three days later, he joined Marbella FC in the third tier.[16]
