Career

[edit]

Born in Utrera, Seville, Andalusia,[2] Matos was a Sevilla FC youth graduate. On 17 March 2013, aged only 17, he made his senior debut for the reserves by coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 Segunda División B away loss against La Roda CF.[3]

Despite being used sparingly, Matos was definitely promoted to the B-team only in the 2014–15 campaign. An undisputed starter, he appeared in 36 matches (all starts) as his side narrowly avoided relegation.

On 1 May 2016, Matos made his first team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 1–0 loss at RCD Espanyol.[4] He scored his first professional goal with the B's on 7 January 2018, in a 3–2 home defeat of Lorca FC in the Segunda División.

On 4 July 2018, free agent Matos signed a three-year contract with Cádiz CF in the second division. Roughly one year later, he extended his contract until 2022 and was loaned to Eredivisie side FC Twente for one year.[5]

Matos returned to his parent club after having played only two league matches for Twente, and moved to Málaga CF on 16 September 2020, also in a temporary one-year deal.[6] Upon returning, he terminated his contract with Cádiz on 15 July 2021,[7] and signed for Burgos CF late in the month.[8]

On 6 August 2023, during a pre-season friendly against Deportivo Alavés, Matos injured Giuliano Simeone after a tackle; the Argentine broke his fibula and also suffered an ankle injury.[9] The following 6 July, he returned to Cádiz on a two-year deal.[10]
