Club career

[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Toni spent his youth in Real Betis and played for the reserves in three Segunda División B seasons. He made his first-team debut on 2 January 2008 in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey, playing the full 90 minutes of a 3–0 home win over Elche CF.[1] Four days later he made his only La Liga appearance in a loss by the same score away to Sevilla FC in the Seville derby, as a 27th-minute substitute for the injured David Rivas.[2] On 9 January, in his only other appearance for the Blanquiverdes, he was withdrawn at half time in a 2–1 home defeat to Valencia CF in the next round of the cup.[3]

In July 2010, Toni was loaned to Segunda División club Albacete Balompié for the season.[4] He scored a first professional goal on 18 December, the game's only at CD Numancia,[5] while the side from Castilla–La Mancha ended the campaign relegated after finishing in last place. In August 2011, he signed a permanent deal with SD Huesca in the same level.[6]

Toni was released by Huesca in January 2012 and was unemployed until August, when he signed for third-tier CP Cacereño.[7] After their relegation in 2016, he stayed in the league by signing for CD Toledo in July.[8]

In the following years, Toni plied his trade in the Tercera División for Mérida AD,[9] CD Gerena[10] and CD Utrera.[11]
