Born in Herrera, Seville, Antoñito graduated from Polideportivo Ejido's youth academy, and made his senior debut in the 2006–07 season with the reserves, in Tercera División. On 4 November 2007 he played his first match as a professional, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–4 away loss against UD Salamanca for the Segunda División.[1]

On 26 January 2008, Antoñito was loaned to Segunda División B club UD Melilla until June.[2] After returning to Poli he became a regular for the Andalusians, now in the third level.

Antoñito continued to compete in division three the following years, representing UD Almería B, Écija Balompié[3] and FC Cartagena.[4] On 23 June 2014 he signed a two-year contract with Albacete Balompié, newly promoted to the second tier.[5]

Antoñito scored his first professional goal on 6 February 2016, netting his team's second in a 2–2 home draw against Real Oviedo.[6] On 13 July, after suffering relegation, he joined fellow league side Córdoba CF.[7]

On 8 July 2017, Antoñito was transferred to Real Valladolid on a three-year deal.[8] He contributed with 38 appearances in his first year – play-offs included – helping to a La Liga promotion after four years.[9][10]

Antoñito made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 27 September 2018, playing 21 minutes in 2–1 home victory over Levante UD.[11] He scored his first goal on 21 October, at Real Betis (1–0).[12] He appeared in 30 matches during the season in a 16th-place finish, and subsequently agreed to an extension until June 2021.[13]

On 26 September 2020, aged 32, Antoñito joined Super League Greece club Panathinaikos F.C. on a two-year contract.[14] The following 14 January, after failing to make an appearance, he back to his home country with Cartagena, now in the second division.[15]
