Born in Fuengirola, Province of Málaga, Juanfri made his senior debut at the age of just 16, playing with local UD Fuengirola Los Boliches in the fourth division and scoring a hat-trick in a 9–0 win against Úbeda CF. In the 2008–09 season he moved to another modest side in Andalusia, Unión Estepona CF, partnering former Málaga CF legend Catanha up front, and both were instrumental as they first promoted to the third level;[1] in the process, he netted the team's first ever goal in the fourth tier of Spanish football.[2]
Juanfri signed with Málaga in 2009, being assigned to the reserves in division four. He made his first-team debut on 7 January 2010, in a 2–1 home defeat of Getafe CF in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.[3]
Juanfri did not appear in any more official games for Málaga and, in summer 2012, left for neighbouring Écija Balompié in the third division.[4] On 31 January 2013, however, he moved abroad and joined I-League franchise Sporting Clube de Goa until the end of the season.[5]
Juanfri made his first appearance for his new team one day after signing, being replaced in the 81st minute of the fixture against Churchill Brothers SC (1–0 home victory).[6] He was released in June 2013,[7] going on to resume his career in his country's lower leagues.[citation needed]
Early into the 2017 January transfer window, Juanfri left FC Saburtalo Tbilisi from Georgia and joined Tercera División club Antequera CF.[8] On 3 August 2018, he signed with St Joseph's in Gibraltar.[9]
