Club career
[edit]Born in Santoña, Cantabria, Miguel Ángel joined local giants Racing de Santander's youth system in 2003, aged 10. In 2011, after impressing with the Cantabrians Juvenil squad, he moved to FC Barcelona.[1]
On 20 June 2012 Miguel Ángel was promoted to the Catalans' reserve squad,[2] and played his first match as a professional on 13 October, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–0 home success over Sporting de Gijón in the Segunda División.[3]
On 10 January of the following year Miguel Ángel joined Real Betis B on loan until the end of the season.[4] After only starting once with the Andalusians (which eventually suffered relegation), he returned to Barça, and eventually rescinded his link, joining Italian Serie B side Reggina Calcio.[5]
After appearing in only ten matches with the Amaranto during the campaign, Miguel Ángel signed a two-year deal with Lega Pro club Foggia Calcio on 6 August 2014.[6] On 26 July 2017, he joined Pordenone Calcio on loan.[7]
On 31 January 2019, he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with another Serie C club, Cavese.[8] Just three days later, in his first game for Cavese, he came on as a substitute against his previous club Sicula Leonzio and scored a winning penalty kick in a 3–2 victory.
On 22 August 2020 he went to Gubbio.[9]
On 3 August 2022, he moved to Audace Cerignola.[10]
