Club career

Born in Madrid, Segovia finished his development with local Rayo Vallecano, first appearing with the main squad during the 2004–05 season in Segunda División B. Released in June 2006, he went on to resume his career at that level but also in the Tercera División, representing CF Fuenlabrada, Algeciras CF, Deportivo Aragón, CA Pinto, UB Conquense, and CD Atlético Baleares.

Segovia moved abroad for the first time in his career in the summer of 2010, joining Austrian Football First League club SKN St. Pölten. On 12 July 2011, he played his first match as a professional, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–2 home loss against WAC St. Andrä. He finished his first season abroad with 17 goals, ranking third in the league's scoring charts.[1]

After one and a half years, Segovia changed teams but stayed in Austria, signing for the Bundesliga's FC Admira Wacker Mödling. He made his debut in the competition on 16 February 2013, in a 1–2 home defeat to SC Wiener Neustadt, where he featured 36 minutes from the bench.[2] On 13 April, now as a starter, he scored his first goals for his new team, netting twice in the 4–3 win against FC Wacker Innsbruck.[3]

On 26 May 2013, Segovia scored the game's only goal at SV Mattersburg in the last matchday, helping Admira leapfrog their opponent to finish in ninth position and thus barely avoid relegation.[4] In the off-season, he transferred to Wolfsberger AC of the same league.

On 2 February 2017, Segovia left St. Pölten and signed a six-month deal with Neftçi PFK from the Azerbaijan Premier League.[5] His contract was terminated by mutual consent on 29 January 2018.[6]

Segovia joined Indian Super League side Bengaluru FC on 15 February 2018, as a replacement for injured compatriot Braulio Nóbrega.[7] He returned to his homeland on 9 August, agreeing to a one-year contract at Racing de Santander.[8]
