Career
Early career
Born in La Rinconada, Seville, Andalusia, Valles finished his formation with Real Betis. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 16 October 2016, starting in a 3–0 Tercera División away win against CD Guadalcacín.
On 6 September 2017, after being rarely used, Valles was loaned to CD Gerena of the fourth division, for one year.[2] On 10 July of the following year, he moved to another reserve team, UD Las Palmas Atlético of the Segunda División B.[3]
Las Palmas
Valles made his first-team debut for the Canarians on 13 October 2019, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 home defeat of Deportivo de La Coruña in the Segunda División.[4] He subsequently established himself as a starter for the main squad under Pepe Mel, overtaking fellow youth graduate Josep Martínez and Raúl Fernández, and renewed his contract until 2024 on 17 June 2022.[5]
Valles contributed with 34 appearances during the 2022–23 season as the club achieved promotion to La Liga. He made his debut in the top tier of Spanish football on 12 August 2023, starting in a 1–1 home draw against RCD Mallorca.
Demoted to third-choice ahead of the 2024–25 campaign after the arrivals of Jasper Cillessen and Dinko Horkaš, Valles terminated his link with the Amarillos on 10 February 2025.[6]
Betis
On 17 June 2025, Valles returned to Betis on a five-year contract, now being a first team member.[7][8]
