[edit] Football career
A product of hometown CD Logroñés' youth system, López was snapped by Villarreal CF in 1999, with whom he achieved La Liga promotion at the end of the season. Making his top flight debut on September 10, 2000, in a 1–5 home loss against Rayo Vallecano, he finished the season missing only three league contests and netting eight goals, with Villarreal finishing 7th.
Joining neighbours Valencia CF in 2003–04, he would play 26 matches and net four times, as the side was proclaimed national champion. After a loan to RCD Mallorca, López would only appear 19 times in the league in the next two seasons combined, mainly due to injuries.
López was released by Valencia in summer 2007, and was signed by Racing de Santander on a free transfer, where he was a key element in the squad's first ever UEFA Cup qualification in 2007–08. On November 25, 2007, he scored the game's only goal, in a home triumph against his previous team.[1]
Having already played one match in 2008–09 with Racing, a 1-1 home draw with Sevilla FC, López was sold to second division's Real Zaragoza on September 1, 2008, for €3 millions+VAT.[2]
