Born in Pontecesures, Pontevedra, Galicia, Vieites started his career with Bertamiráns FC, and made his first team debut at the age of only 15 on 20 March 2015, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–5 Tercera División loss against CCD Cerceda. On 10 June, he joined RC Celta de Vigo and returned to the youth setup. [1]

Vieites was promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2018–19 season, but was only a third-choice. He became a regular starter in 2019–20, contributing with 15 appearances as the league was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 1 July 2022, Vieites terminated his contract with Lugo, [5] and signed a two-year deal with Real Betis' reserves in Segunda Federación. [6] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut with the Verdiblancos on 16 September 2023, replacing injured Rui Silva in a 5–0 away loss to FC Barcelona. [7]

On 19 February 2024, Vieites renewed his contract with the Verdiblancos until 2026, being definitely promoted to the main squad for the 2024–25 season. [8]
