Juanlu was born in Fuente Palmera, Province of Córdoba. After starting out at local Córdoba CF he moved to Valencia CF in January 2003, playing mostly for their reserves.[1] On 23 January 2005, he appeared in his first and only official match with the first team, against Villarreal CF: he came on as a substitute for Francisco Rufete in the seventh minute, being himself replaced at half-time by Marco Di Vaio in an eventual 1–3 away loss.[2]
After a loan at UE Lleida, Juanlu was released and resumed his career also in the second division, settling with CD Tenerife and contributing with four goals in 35 games in his second season as the club returned to La Liga after seven years.
