Club career
Early years
Born in El Rubio, Province of Seville, Andalusia, Rico started playing with Écija Balompié. In 2001 the 12-year-old moved to neighbouring Real Betis, going on to finish his football formation there.
In the following two years, Rubio alternated between the club's third and second teams, appearing in only four Segunda División B games with the latter in two seasons combined.
Real Madrid C
In mid-February 2010, Rico signed with La Liga giants Real Madrid, being assigned to its C-team.[1] He played in just four Tercera División games during his four-month spell with the club.
Gimnàstic
In the 2010 summer Rico signed with CF Pobla de Mafumet, Gimnàstic de Tarragona's farm team, being first-choice with the fourth division side, managed by Kiko Ramírez. In his first season, he managed to be the former's third top scorer, behind Albert Virgili and Fran Carbià.
On 23 June 2011, Rico was promoted to Nàstic's first team, and signed a two-year contract.[2] On 10 July, he was officially presented with the Catalans.[3]
Rico made his competitive debut with Gimnàstic on 6 August 2011, against RCD Espanyol for the season's Copa Catalunya, coming on as a substitute for striker Berry Powel in the 64th minute of a 1–2 loss.[4] He made his first Segunda División appearance on 4 September, replacing Eloy in a 0–0 draw at CD Numancia;[5] after only two league appearances (three overall) with the main squad, he was loaned to RCD Espanyol B.[6]
Journeyman
Rico had his contract with Gimnàstic rescinded on 31 August 2012.[7] On the same day he signed with CE L'Hospitalet, also in the third level,[8] and on 20 August of the following year he joined fellow league club Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[9]
On 2 July 2014 Rico moved to UD Logroñés, still in the third tier.[10]
