Born in Marbella, Málaga, Andalusia,[1] Ontiveros joined Málaga CF's youth setup in 2010, after spells at CD Vázquez Cultural and Real Betis.[2] On 24 June 2015, without even appearing for the reserves, he was called up by manager Javi Gracia for the pre-season with the main squad.[3]
Ontiveros made his debut as a senior on 22 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 away win against CD Comarca del Mármol in the Tercera División.[4] He scored his first senior goal on 13 September, netting the last in a 2–0 home success over CD Rincón.[5] He scored a brace in a 3–0 win at CD Español del Alquián on 31 October.[6]
On 21 November 2015, Ontiveros made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, replacing Arthur Boka in a 0–2 away loss against RCD Espanyol.[7] He only appeared in four league matches during the campaign, all from the bench, but scored 11 goals for the B-team in the fourth division.
On 19 October 2016, Ontiveros scored once and provided two assists for Malaga's U19 team in a 5–0 UEFA Youth League home routing of FC Nitra. He made his first appearance of the 2016–17 season on 4 November 2016, in a 3–2 win against Sporting de Gijón; coming on in the 57th minute, he assisted Sandro Ramírez in the team's second goal eight minutes later.[8] On 26 November he scored his first professional goal, netting a last-minute winner in a 4–3 home success over Deportivo de La Coruña.[9]
On 31 January 2018, Ontiveros was loaned to Segunda División side Real Valladolid until the end of the season.[10] He helped the club win promotion to the top tier in the play-offs, and subsequently returned to his parent club, now also in the second division.
On 20 August 2019, Ontiveros signed a five-year contract with Villarreal CF.[11] On 24 September of the following year, after being mainly used as a substitute, he moved to fellow league team SD Huesca on loan for one year.[12]
On 27 August 2021, Ontiveros moved to CA Osasuna also in the top tier, on loan for the 2021–22 campaign.[13] His loan was terminated on 29 January 2022,[14] and he signed a permanent four-and-a-half-year contract with CF Fuenlabrada in the second division just hours later; Villarreal also retained a buy-back clause.[15] Ultimately, his contract has changed into a six-month loan until his return to Villarreal.
