Born in Madrid, Muñoz represented Rayo Vallecano and Deportivo de La Coruña as a youth. On 28 December 2015, he moved to Tercera División side Silva SD on loan for the remainder of the season.[1]

In 2016, Muñoz moved to another reserve team, Deportivo Alavés B also in the fourth division. On 15 July of the following year, he signed a contract with Segunda División B team UD San Sebastián de los Reyes,[2] but featured sparingly during the campaign.

On 12 July 2018, Muñoz moved to fellow third division side AD Unión Adarve,[3] and was a regular starter as the club suffered relegation. He returned to Sanse on 4 January 2020, after six months without a club.[4]

On 14 June 2020, Muñoz agreed to a one-year contract with Real Murcia, still in the third level.[5] On 8 June of the following year, he moved abroad and joined Polish Ekstraklasa side Piast Gliwice on a two-year deal.[6]

Muñoz made his professional debut on 12 September 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Ariel Mósor in a 0–1 home loss against Zagłębie Lubin.
