Club career

Born in Madrid, Basilio represented Rayo Vallecano and CDC Moscardó as a youth, making his senior debut for the latter in 2003. In 2005 he moved to Atlético Madrid, but only appeared for the club's C and B-teams.[1]

In 2009, after representing CD Cobeña and Getafe CF B, Basilio joined Tercera División side CF Fuenlabrada. An undisputed starter for the side, he achieved promotion to Segunda División B in 2012 but left the club in 2014.[2]

In August 2014, Basilio moved abroad and joined Indian Super League side Atlético de Kolkata.[3] However, he failed to appear a single minute after being a third-choice behind Apoula Edel and Subhasish Roy Chowdhury.

On 1 January 2015 Basilio returned to Spain, joining CF Trival Valderas in the fourth division.[4] On 20 May, he signed a short-term deal with CF Talavera de la Reina to play for the club in the play-offs.[5]

On 7 July 2015, Basilio moved to CF Rayo Majadahonda in the third tier.[6] An immediate first-choice, he contributed with 37 appearances during the 2017–18 season as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División for the first time ever.

On 19 August 2018, aged 34, Basilio made his professional debut by starting in a 1–2 away loss against Real Zaragoza.[7]
