Club career

Born in El Bosque, Cádiz, René made his senior debuts with local Arcos CF in the 2002–03 season. He first arrived in Segunda División B in the summer of 2006, signing with Racing Club Portuense.

In the following years, René continued competing in the third level and his native Andalusia, representing Real Betis B (being named to the first team's substitutes bench on three occasions), Unión Estepona CF[1] and CP Cacereño. In July 2012 he signed with fellow league club FC Cartagena,[2] being however released the following month[3] and remaining a free agent until January 2013, when he moved to Barakaldo CF.[4]

On 21 July 2013, René signed with Real Jaén, freshly promoted to Segunda División.[5] On 11 September, aged 29, he appeared in his first professional match, a 1–0 home win over CD Numancia for the campaign's Copa del Rey;[6] he made his league debut on 20 October, in a 1–0 success against AD Alcorcón also at the Nuevo Estadio de La Victoria.[7]

On 16 July 2014, René moved to UE Llagostera also in the second tier.[8] On 29 June 2016, after suffering relegation, he joined fellow league team Girona FC after agreeing to a two-year deal.[9]

René contributed with 21 appearances during the season, sharing starting duties with Bono as the Catalan club achieved promotion to La Liga for the first time ever. He left on 5 July 2017,[10] and signed a two-year contract with UD Almería just hours later.[11]
