Club career

Born in Córdoba, Andalusia, Berrocal spent his first years as a senior with Real Madrid's C-team. In January 2009 he was loaned to Racing de Santander, playing with both the first and B-sides with the Cantabrians; on 1 March 2009 he first appeared for the main squad and in La Liga, playing the last minute of the 1–1 home draw against CA Osasuna.[1] The following week, again from the bench, he scored in a 3–5 loss at Deportivo de La Coruña.[2]

For the 2009–10 season, Berrocal was released by Real Madrid and signed a two-year deal with Granada CF from the third division.[3] He appeared regularly throughout his first year as the latter returned to the second level after more than 20 years, contributing with five goals; however, he would be released in the summer, signing with another club in that tier, AD Ceuta.[4]

On 26 June 2013, after spells with CD San Roque de Lepe (division three)[5] and Recreativo de Huelva (two),[6] Berrocal joined a host of compatriots at Buriram United F.C. of the Thai Premier League.[7] He marked his league debut with a goal, in a 2–1 away win over Suphanburi FC.
