Club career

[edit]

Born in Elche, Alicante, Valencian Community, Germán joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in 2007 from local Elche CF, aged 14. He made his senior debut with the B team in the Tercera División.[1]

On 26 August 2013, Germán signed a new four-year deal with the Catalans, being also promoted to the main squad.[2] On 8 December he played his first game as a professional, starting in a 2–2 away draw against Real Jaén in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey (eventual 4–2 aggregate win).[3]

Germán first appeared in La Liga on 6 April 2014, taking the place of suspended Kiko Casilla in a 4–1 loss at Sevilla FC.[4] In January 2015, after losing his backup position to another youth graduate, Pau López, he was loaned to Segunda División club Racing de Santander until June.[5]

On 18 August 2015, Germán moved to Girona FC of the same league in a season-long loan deal.[6] He played understudy to Isaac Becerra during his spell, and terminated his contract with Espanyol on 5 August 2016.[7]

On 6 August 2016, Germán returned to his first club Elche.[8] The following summer, he signed for UCAM Murcia CF in the Segunda División B.[9] Two years later, he joined fellow third-tier UD Ibiza, agreeing to a contract until 30 June 2020 with the option for an additional season.[10]

On 1 July 2023, after suffering second-division relegation, Germán signed a two-year deal with Deportivo de La Coruña in the Primera Federación.[11]
