Born in Córdoba, Andalusia, Dorado alternated between Segunda División and Segunda División B until the age of 29. He started his senior career with Real Zaragoza B, then went on to represent UE Lleida, SD Huesca[1][2] and Real Betis.[3]

Dorado scored two goals in 33 games in the 2010–11 season[4][5] to help the latter return to La Liga, as champions, after a two-year absence. He made his debut in the competition on 27 August 2011 at 29, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 derby away win against Granada CF;[6] he contributed with 2,890 minutes during the campaign as the Verdiblancos retained their league status, scoring his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 31 March 2012 in another game against a team from Andalusia, Málaga CF (2–0 away win).[7]

On 22 January 2013, Dorado returned to the second level, signing with Villarreal CF.[8] He started in all his 11 league appearances in his first year, going on to achieve another club promotion.

On 6 July 2015, Dorado signed a two-year deal with Rayo Vallecano after his contract with the Yellow Submarine expired.[9]
