Club career

Born in Mérida, Extremadura, López joined Real Betis' academy in 2010 at the age of 15, after starting out at local club Mérida UD.[1] In October 2012, while still a junior, he was called up to train with the first team by coach Pepe Mel.[2]

López returned to the youth squad, but made his senior debut with the reserves on 9 December 2012, starting in a 0–4 away loss against Sevilla Atlético.[3] After spending the whole 2013–14 campaign between the B side and the youth setup, he first appeared in La Liga with the first team on 11 May 2014, coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for the injured Antonio Adán in a 4–3 home win over Real Valladolid,[4] as the Andalusians were already relegated as dead last.

On 26 August 2016, López was loaned to Segunda División B club Atlético Sanluqueño CF.[5] The following 6 July, after returning to Betis B who now competed in the third tier, he renewed his link for a further year.[6]

On 22 April 2018, with starter Adán sidelined due to physical problems, López replaced injured Dani Giménez late into the first half of the league fixture away to Atlético Madrid, and kept a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw.[7] On 3 July, he terminated his contract.[8]

López moved to another reserve team on 30 August 2018, after agreeing to a one-year deal with Deportivo Fabril of the third division.[9] After their relegation, he signed a three-year contract with Burgos CF in the same league.[10]

After a spell with CF Villanovense in the 2020–21 season, López moved to Extremadura UD on 5 July 2021.[11]
