Club career
Born in Gijón, Asturias, Argüelles joined Sporting de Gijón's Mareo in 2012, from Colegio de La Asunción. On 6 June 2018, while still a youth, he renewed his contract for a further three years.[2]
Promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B in July 2020,[3] Argüelles made his senior debut on 17 October 2020, starting in a 2–4 home loss against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[4] He scored his first senior goal on 5 September of the following year, netting the opener in a 2–0 Tercera División RFEF away win over CD Covadonga.[5]
Argüelles made his first team debut on 20 March 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Pablo García in a 1–1 Segunda División away draw against CD Leganés.[6][7] On 24 July of the following year, after another two appearances with the main squad, he moved to Primera Federación side UD Ibiza.[8]
On 7 August 2024, after being rarely used, Argüelles joined Getafe CF and was assigned to the B-team in Segunda Federación.[9] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 27 October, replacing Álex Sola late into a 1–1 home draw against Valencia CF.[10]
