Club career

Born in Aspe, Province of Alicante, Pedro graduated from Alicante CF's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in 2005. He was definitely promoted to the main squad in summer 2008, and made his debut as a professional on 23 November, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 away draw against Rayo Vallecano for the Segunda División.[1]

Pedro scored his first professional goal on 1 March 2009, netting his team's first in a 2–1 success at SD Eibar.[2] He finished the season with 27 appearances and two goals, as the Valencians were relegated.

On 22 June 2009, Pedro signed with Segunda División B club Real Murcia.[3] In his second year he scored a career-best 13 goals, helping the Pimentoneros return to the second level at the first attempt.

On 17 July 2012, Pedro joined Córdoba CF also in division two.[4] He continued to compete in that tier in the following seasons, representing Real Zaragoza, Elche CF, Granada CF[5], Deportivo de La Coruña[6] and Albacete Balompié, with which he signed a two-year contract in August, 2019. [7][8]
