He played mostly for Melilla during a 21-year senior career, appearing in 367 competitive games for the club and scoring 87 goals.
Born in Melilla, Chota spent his first years as a senior in amateur football. He played part of the 2001–02 season and the entire 2002–03 campaign with Levante UD in the Segunda División. He also had a brief spell in that tier with CD Numancia.[1]
Most of Chota's career, however, was spent with UD Melilla in the Segunda División B (which he first joined in 1996 in order to represent its reserves), going on to surpass the 300-mark in official games and score more than 75 goals.[2][3][4][5] He retired at the end of 2014–15 at the age of 40, amidst accusations of mistreatment.[6]
