Club career

Born in Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Trigueros began his career with Real Murcia, making his senior debut with the reserves and being released in June 2010 following the main squad's relegation from the second division.[1] Subsequently he signed for Villarreal CF, being assigned to the C team.

Trigueros made his official debut with Villarreal B on 4 June 2011, playing 30 minutes in a 1–2 away loss against Real Betis for the second tier.[2] On 11 February 2012 he scored his first goal in a 1–3 defeat at CE Sabadell FC,[3] being relatively played during the season but suffering relegation – even though the side finished in 12th position – as the first team had also dropped down a level in La Liga.

In June 2012, Trigueros was definitely promoted to the main squad. He contributed 36 games and three goals[4][5][6] in the first year after it befell, helping the Yellow Submarine return to where it had come from.[7]

Trigueros made his maiden appearance in the top flight on 19 August 2013, coming on as a 53rd-minute substitute for Tomás Pina in 3–2 away victory over UD Almería.[8] As a starter, he scored his first goal in the competition, his team's second in the 3–1 home defeat of CA Osasuna on 3 February 2014.[9] That October, his contract was extended from 2017 to 2019;[10] in November 2016, a new deal tied him to the club until 2022.[11]

On 21 May 2017, Trigueros scored in a 3–1 win at local rivals Valencia CF on the last day of the season, securing fifth place and qualification for the UEFA Europa League.[12] He netted his first in that continental competition on 19 October, as the team fought back for a 2–2 group stage draw with SK Slavia Prague at the Estadio de la Cerámica;[13] on 23 December, in another derby at Mestalla, he was sent off for the first time in his career in a 1–0 victory.[14]

Trigueros reached 300 matches for the club on 10 November 2019, in a 3–1 away loss against RCD Mallorca.[15]
