Club career

Héctor was born in Puerto del Rosario, Canary Islands. A product of CD Tenerife's youth system, he made his first-team debut in 2004–05 in the Segunda División,[1] then made a further 57 league appearances over the next four seasons, including 19 in 2008–09 to help the club return to La Liga after seven years.[2]

In the following campaign, Héctor made his top-flight debut when he played seven minutes in a 2–1 home win against Sporting de Gijón on 6 December 2009,[3][4] but featured sparingly overall – seven of his 11 matches came in the last rounds – as his team was immediately relegated.[5]

On 19 June 2011, Héctor signed for Videoton FC in Hungary.[6] Having returned to his country after nearly two years of inactivity, he resumed his career in the lower leagues.[7][8]
