López was born in Jerez de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz. Over the course of 14 seasons (13 complete, two separate spells) he represented Cádiz CF, being the player with most competitive games for the Andalusia side with exactly 400, 385 in league and 15 in the Copa del Rey. He appeared with them in all of the three major levels of Spanish football.[1]
In 2005–06, López played in La Liga with his main club, featuring in 27 matches[2] and scoring in a 1–1 home draw against Racing de Santander[3] as the campaign eventually ended in relegation. In July 2011, aged almost 35, he left the Estadio Ramón de Carranza[4] and resumed his career in the lower leagues and amateur football.[5]
