Club career

edit

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Rayco began his football career with Real Madrid, first helping the Juvenil side win the Champions Cup then leading all scorers in the C team with 18 goals. In 2006–07 he made his professional debut, appearing for Real Madrid Castilla in the Segunda División. During the season, the player was brought mainly from the bench as they were eventually relegated.[1]

After spells with Villarreal CF's reserves and amateurs CDA Navalcarnero, Rayco moved to Real Oviedo, recently promoted to Segunda División B.[2] For 2010–11 he signed with another club in that league, Rayo Vallecano's B side.[3]

On 11 December 2011, Rayco made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, playing the second half of a 1–3 home loss against Sporting de Gijón.[4] In late March of the following year he terminated his contract and, shortly after, joined CD Mirandés in division two.[5]

Rayco competed in the third tier the following years, representing CD Alcoyano,[6] Gimnàstic de Tarragona,[7] SD Ponferradina,[8] Real Murcia, UD Logroñés[9] and CD Calahorra.[10]
