Club career

Born in A Coruña, Juan Carlos was a product of local Deportivo de La Coruña's youth system, and made his official debut with the first team on 7 September 2011, playing the full 90 minutes in a 5–1 home win against Girona FC in the second round of the Copa del Rey. [2] He scored 15 goals for the reserves in 2011–12 in the Tercera División.

On 14 January 2013, Juan Carlos was loaned to SD Huesca until June. [4] He scored his first professional goal later that month, opening the 2–1 away defeat of CD Numancia [5] but seeing the Aragonese club eventually suffer second-tier relegation.

Juan Carlos returned to the Galicians in July, being definitely promoted to the first team also in division two. [6] He played 27 matches and scored three goals during the season, as Deportivo returned to the top flight at the first attempt. [7]

On 2 April 2014, Juan Carlos was slapped by teammate Luisinho in the face following an argument in training. [8] On 26 January of the following year, after being rarely used during the campaign, he terminated his contract with Depor [9] and joined second-division side CD Tenerife hours later. [10]

After a two-year spell in the Romanian Liga I with CFR Cluj, Juan Carlos returned to Tenerife by signing a two-year deal. [11] On 27 July 2018, he moved to UD Almería also of the second tier on a one-year contract. [12]

On 31 July 2019, free agent Juan Carlos joined his former club Huesca on a two-year deal after their top-flight relegation. [13] In August 2021, having been without a contract for two months, he re-signed for two years. [14]
