Career
Born in Don Benito, Badajoz, Extremadura, Patri started his career with hometown side CD Don Benito. After representing CF Extremadura's reserves, he joined Tercera División's Alicante CF in 2000, achieving immediate promotion and being an undisputed starter as his side finished sixth in the 2001–02 Segunda División B.
Patri signed for Segunda División side Polideportivo Ejido in 2002, and made his professional debut on 1 September of that year by starting in a 0–0 away draw against SD Eibar. After two seasons at the club, he moved to Hércules CF in the third division, helping the side achieve promotion but being rarely used afterwards.
Patri was a regular starter in his following two clubs, Águilas CF (where he scored a career-best eight goals) and CD Alcoyano, before returning to the second division with Elche CF. Again rarely used (only four starts, 363 minutes of action), he went on to resume his career in the lower leagues, representing AD Cerro de Reyes and CD La Muela during the 2010–11 campaign, with both clubs folding until the end of it.
In 2011, Patri returned to Don Benito, where he retired in March 2017 at the age of nearly 40. He immediately started working as Juancho Pozo's assistant at the very same club.
On 8 August 2019, Patri was appointed José Bordalás' assistant at La Liga club Getafe CF.
