Playing career

Born in Santander, Cantabria, Pinillos graduated from local Racing de Santander's youth setup. He made his debut with the first team in 1990, appearing in seven games as they returned to Segunda División at the first attempt.[1]

Pinillos played his first match as a professional on 15 December 1991, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Palamós CF for the second level championship.[2] He added five appearances in the following campaign, as the club achieved another promotion.

Pinillos made his La Liga debut on 19 March 1994, coming on as a first half substitute for field player Dmitri Popov in a 1–1 home draw against FC Barcelona.[3] Eight days later, he played the full 90 minutes in a 0–2 defeat at Real Zaragoza;[4] during his spell, he acted as understudy to legendary José María Ceballos.

In the summer of 1995, Pinillos was loaned to second level team CD Logroñés. After appearing regularly he returned to Racing in the following year, but was demoted to third-choice and played no further matches.

Pinillos subsequently resumed his career in the lower leagues, representing Burgos CF, Jerez CF, Zamora CF, SD Ponferradina, Gimnástica de Torrelavega and CD Bezana, retiring with the latter in 2007.
