Popularly known as Principito (Spanish for Little prince), he came through the youth ranks at Atlas, then signed with Deportivo in Spain, going on to remain with the club for several seasons, four in La Liga. In 2012 he joined another team in the country, Valencia, making 44 appearances in all competitions in his first season.
