Club career

Catena was born in Móstoles, Madrid, and represented CD Móstoles URJC as a youth. He made his first-team debut during the 2012–13 season, achieving promotion to Tercera División.

On 28 July 2016, Catena signed for Segunda División B side CDA Navalcarnero.[1] The following 28 June, he moved to fellow league team Marbella FC.[2]

On 25 June 2018, Catena agreed to a three-year deal for CF Reus Deportiu in Segunda División.[3] He made his professional debut on 19 August, starting in a 0–2 away loss against UD Las Palmas.[4]

Catena scored his first professional goal on 21 October 2018, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 home defeat of CF Rayo Majadahonda. The following January, he terminated his contract with the Catalans due to the club's poor financial situation overall.[5]
