“"I come from a humble family. My parents were separated. My mother worked at least 12 hours a day to earn a living. And I thought I had to help. I did whatever came up: I was a bricklayer, helping a trusted person who did renovations; I also installed air conditioners... Besides that, when I was 16 or 18, I would go with my brother to a factory when I could. There I also earned a little money. I tried everything to bring money home. Studies weren't my strong suit either. I had to hustle."

A CD Tenerife forward has achieved his best scoring record since joining in 2021, demonstrating remarkable commitment and a character forged through personal resilience.
The player has scored 17 goals this season, including a hat-trick in the victory against Guadalajara and five penalty goals. This performance marks his best tally since he arrived at CD Tenerife in 2021, notably contributing to the team's points whenever he has scored.
This life experience explains his character and dedication on the field, where he sacrifices himself to recover the ball and applies his skill in finishing. His professional career led him from being a well-known forward in Catalonia to making his debut in La Liga at 32 years old, after successful stints with Cornellá and Extremadura.
After his time in La Liga with Huesca, Getafe, and Osasuna, the player joined CD Tenerife in the preseason of 2021. Since then, he has been a fundamental part of the team, experiencing moments such as the disappointment of the playoff final lost to Girona and the subsequent promotion to Segunda División, where he has confirmed his worth as a "goal-scoring laborer."
