Career

[edit]

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Juanpe graduated from UD Las Palmas' youth academy. He made his debut as a senior with the reserves in 2008, in Tercera División.

On 13 June 2009, Juanpe played his first match as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–0 home draw against Rayo Vallecano in the Segunda División.[2] After a full season with the B side, he was definitely promoted to the first team on 22 June 2010.[3]

Juanpe scored his first goal in the second division on 21 January 2012, a last-minute header in the 1–1 draw at CE Sabadell FC.[4] On 2 September of the following year he cut ties with the club,[5] and moved to Racing de Santander of Segunda División B two days later.[6]

After achieving promotion to the second tier, Juanpe signed a three-year contract with Granada CF on 12 June 2014, being initially assigned to the reserves in division three.[7] On 28 August he returned to Racing, penning a one-year loan deal.[8]

On 21 July 2015, Juanpe agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Andalusians, being also loaned to Real Valladolid in a season-long move.[9] On 7 July of the following year, he signed a three-year permanent deal with Girona FC also in the second tier.[10]

Juanpe contributed 34 appearances during the season, helping the club promote to La Liga for the first time ever.[11] He made his debut in the competition on 26 August 2017, replacing Borja García late into a 1–0 home win over Málaga CF.[12]
