Club career
Ríos was born in Jerez de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz. After playing with Atlético Sanluqueño CF (Tercera División, having started his career as a striker) and AD Ceuta (Segunda División B), he signed with local club Xerez CD in 2004. He scored 11 Segunda División goals in his second professional season, for a final seventh place.
After playing an important part in Xerez's first-ever promotion to La Liga – 24 games and 17 starts, four goals in nearly 1,600 minutes of action – Ríos agreed to a three-year contract with Getafe CF in the summer of 2009. Scarcely used in his debut campaign as the Madrid side qualified for the UEFA Europa League, he was made first choice after Pedro León's departure to Real Madrid.
On 5 December 2010, Ríos scored twice as Getafe downed RCD Mallorca 3–0 at home. He finished the season with seven league goals, as they narrowly escaped relegation.
Ríos moved to fellow top-tier team Levante UD on 6 July 2012. He made 37 competitive appearances in his first year with five goals, including three in the Europa League.
Ríos alternated between the second and third divisions until his retirement at the age of 38, representing Recreativo de Huelva, Córdoba CF and San Fernando CD. Immediately afterwards, he joined his last club's coaching staff.
