Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Castellano graduated from UD Las Palmas' youth setup, and made his senior debut with the reserves in 2006, in Tercera División. On 15 December 2007 he appeared in his first game as a professional, starting in a 3–1 away loss against Polideportivo Ejido in the Segunda División. [1]

[3] Eight days later, he was loaned to Segunda División B club Deportivo Alavés until June. [4]

After another loan stint at AD Ceuta, [5] Castellano terminated his contract with the Balearic Islands side in June 2011. Late in the month, he returned to his first club Las Palmas after agreeing to a three-year deal. [6]
