Club career

Born in Valladolid, Castile and León, Llorente finished his development with La Liga giants Real Madrid, making his debut in the competition in the 1987–88 season with fellow league club RCD Mallorca, on loan. He returned to the Spanish capital upon his team's relegation, going on to play 33 competitive games during his two-year tenure and win five major titles, including two consecutive national championships. He appeared in six European Cup matches with the Merengues, scoring in a 6–0 home win against CA Spora Luxembourg in the 1989–90 edition. [1]

Llorente signed with CD Tenerife in summer 1990, helping to the Canary Islands side's domestic and European consolidation. [2] [3] From 1994 to 1996 he scored a total of nine goals in 75 league matches, adding five appearances in the 1996–97 UEFA Cup to help them reach the semi-finals. [4]

Tenerife were relegated to Segunda División in 1999, and 33-year-old Llorente joined another club in that level, UD Salamanca, retiring after one season with top-flight totals of 280 games and 20 goals.

Personal life

Llorente hailed from a sporting family. Aside from his uncle Francisco Gento, his three older brothers were also professionals: José Luis (1959) and Antonio "Toñín" (1963) played top-level basketball for well more than one decade (including at Real Madrid), while Francisco spent seven seasons with Real Madrid, coinciding with Julio from 1988 to 1990.
