Club career

Cuartero was born in Zaragoza, Aragon. He made his senior debut with his hometown club Real Zaragoza on 20 June 1993 in a 2–2 away draw against Atlético Madrid, aged 17, [3] and went on to appear in 178 La Liga games, plus the 2002–03 season in the Segunda División.

From 2006 to 2009, however, Cuartero would total three league appearances, severely hindered by knee injuries.
