Club career

Born in Alicante, Valencian Community, Torres played lower league football until the age of nearly 26. He started out at local Alicante CF in the Segunda División B, going on to represent Real Murcia Imperial, Ontinyent CF, AD Ceuta [1] and Albacete Balompié. [2]

Torres joined Segunda División club CD Alcoyano in the last minutes of the January 2012 transfer window. [3] He made his debut as a professional on 4 February, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute in a 2–0 away loss against CD Numancia, [4] and scored his first goal the following round (2–0 home win over UD Las Palmas), [5] but his team ultimately suffered relegation and he was released at the end of the following season. [6]

After two seasons in the Super League Greece with Platanias FC, Torres returned to his country and signed a one-year deal with Deportivo Alavés. [7] With the latter, he achieved promotion to La Liga in 2016 but was rarely used in the process, [8] and terminated his contract on 28 June 2016. [9]

On 5 August 2016, Torres returned to Alcoyano who now competed in the third division. [10] He continued to play in that tier the following years, with Hércules CF, [11] Ontinyent [12] [13] and Salamanca CF UDS. [14]

Torres joined CF La Nucía of Tercera División on 29 June 2019. [15] Only ten days later, he left and signed with amateurs CF Intercity in Sant Joan d'Alacant. [16]
