Football career
Born in Mula, Region of Murcia, Pico was a product of local Real Murcia's youth system. On 17 June 2006, before even having appeared for the reserves, he made his professional debut, coming on as a substitute for Samuel in the 62nd minute of a 1–1 away draw against Sporting de Gijón in the Segunda División.[1]
Pico was later assigned to the B-side in the Tercera División, and was loaned to UD Ibiza-Eivissa on 29 January 2008, until June.[2] He subsequently returned to his parent club, and alternated between the reserves and the first team during his spell, scoring a goal for the latter on 20 June 2009 in a 1–2 loss at Córdoba CF.[3]
Pico left Murcia in summer 2010 and joined another reserve team, Getafe CF B of the Segunda División B. He subsequently resumed his career in the same level but also in the fourth tier, representing Caravaca CF, UCAM Murcia CF,[4] Orihuela CF,[5] CF Lorca Deportiva and Real Jaén.
