Club career
Born in Écija, Seville, Andalusia, Delgado joined Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2011, from hometown club Écija Balompié. He left the club in July 2017, and subsequently signed a three-year deal with Real Betis.[1]
Delgado made his senior debut with the reserves on 19 December 2018, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–1 Tercera División away win against Conil CF.[2] On 10 October 2020, he renewed his contract until 2024.[3]
Delgado made his first team debut on 6 January 2021, replacing Emerson Royal late into a 1–3 away win against UD Mutilvera, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4] His professional debut occurred eleven days later, as he again replaced Emerson in a 2–0 win at Sporting de Gijón, also for the national cup.[5]
On 10 July, Portuguese club S.C. Farense, newly-promoted to the Primeira Liga, announced the signing of Delgado on a two-year contract, with an option for a further year.[6]
