Football career

Born in Pontevedra, Galicia, Rey played youth football with hometown club Pontevedra CF. In late 2008 he made his debuts as a senior at the age of only 17 and, in the following summer, moved to Valencia CF to complete his formation; during the 2009–10 season, he appeared in one game for the reserves also in Segunda División B.

In July 2011, Rey signed a contract with CD Lugo.[1] He contributed with 22 appearances in his debut campaign (18 starts, 1,622 minutes of action), as the club returned to Segunda División after an absence of 20 years.

Rey made his debut as a professional on 1 December 2012, appearing as a late substitute in a 1–2 home loss against FC Barcelona B.[2] On 18 July 2013 he joined Celta de Vigo, being initially assigned to the reserve side in the third level.[3]
