Club career
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Rayco began his football career with Real Madrid, first helping the Juvenil side win the Champions Cup then leading all scorers in the C team with 18 goals. He made his professional debut in 2006–07, appearing for Real Madrid Castilla in the Segunda División; during the season, the player was brought mainly from the bench as they were relegated.[1]
After spells with Villarreal CF's reserves and amateurs CDA Navalcarnero, Rayco moved to Real Oviedo, recently promoted to Segunda División B.[2] For 2010–11 he signed with another club in that league, Rayo Vallecano's B side.[3]
On 11 December 2011, Rayco made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, playing the second half of a 1–3 home loss against Sporting de Gijón.[4] He terminated his contract in March of the following year and, shortly after, joined second-division CD Mirandés.[5]
Rayco competed in the third tier subsequently, representing CD Alcoyano,[6] Gimnàstic de Tarragona,[7] SD Ponferradina,[8] Real Murcia CF, UD Logroñés[9] and CD Calahorra.[10] In summer 2021, the 34-year-old joined UD San Fernando in the Segunda Federación one level below.[11]
