Club career[edit]

Betis[edit]

Born in El Puerto de Santa María, Province of Cádiz, Nono joined Real Betis’ youth system at the age of 15 after a brief spell with Atlético Madrid.[1] In the 2011–12 season he made his debut as a senior, being a starter with the reserves in the Segunda División B.

Nono made his official debut with the Andalusians’ first team on 5 May 2012, playing 74 minutes in a 2–1 La Liga away loss against Sporting de Gijón.[2] He contributed 15 matches and 589 minutes of action in his first full campaign, helping the side finish seventh and qualify for the UEFA Europa League.[3]

Nono subsequently helped Betis reach the Europa League’s round of 16. He scored once in seven appearances, in the 2–0 away win over FC Rubin Kazan on 27 February 2014;[4] in the next stage, however, he missed a penalty in the shootout against fellow Spaniards Sevilla FC, who went through 4–3.[5]

Elche, UCAM and Hungary[edit]

On 2 February 2015, looking for more playing time, Nono was loaned to 2. Bundesliga’s SV Sandhausen until June.[6] On 17 July, after making no competitive appearances for the Germans, he terminated his contract with Betis[7] and moved to Elche CF from Segunda División on 11 August.[8]

On 1 February 2016, Nono returned to the third tier after being loaned to UCAM Murcia CF.[9] In the ensuing summer, he moved abroad again and signed with Hungarian club Diósgyőri VTK, where he shared teams with compatriot Diego Vela.[10]

Slovan Bratislava[edit]

In February 2018, Nono joined ŠK Slovan Bratislava on a four-and-a-half-year deal.[11] During his spell in Slovakia, he won three Super Liga championships and as many domestic cups.[12][13][14]

Later career[edit]

Nono started 2021–22 again in the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I, with Budapest Honvéd FC.[15] On 31 January 2022 he switched countries again, agreeing to a one-and-a-half-year contract at Damac FC of the Saudi Professional League.[16]
