Club career
Bouzón training with Celta in 2007

Born in Redondela, Province of Pontevedra, Bouzón made his professional debut for local powerhouse RC Celta de Vigo four days shy of his 17th birthday, but would only appear in four first-team games in his first five years combined, playing mainly with the reserves. In his last season he also featured very sparingly, as the Galicians returned to La Liga after one year out.[1]

Bouzón signed with Recreativo de Huelva in 2005, initially on loan. He was an important defensive element for an Andalusian side that achieved top flight promotion in the 2005–06 campaign.

In late June 2010, after experiencing one of his best seasons as a professional – 30 matches, two goals, although Recre only finished in ninth position in the second division – Bouzón signed as a free agent with AC Omonia of Cyprus, for two years. In November, he suffered a serious injury that sidelined him for eight months.

Bouzón subsequently returned to Spain and its second level, representing Xerez CD, Córdoba CF and Gimnàstic de Tarragona. He promoted to the top division with the second club at the end of 2013–14, contributing to the feat with 32 appearances and one goal.[2]
