Club career

Born in Albal, Valencian Community, Ruiz was a product of Valencia CF's youth system. He made his senior debut with the reserves when he was only 16, playing 19 Segunda División B games in 2011–12 and scoring one goal, in the 2–0 home win against CE Manacor.[1] He appeared in his first official match with the first team on 28 November 2012, featuring the full 90 minutes in the 3–1 home win over UE Llagostera in that season's Copa del Rey.[2]

Ruiz was loaned out to CD Tenerife for the 2013–14 campaign.[3][4] He made his first Segunda División appearance on 25 August, starting and being replaced in a 0–0 home draw with Hércules CF.[5]

On 13 July 2015, after a further two full seasons with Valencia B, Ruiz was loaned to Granada CF in a season-long deal.[6] He made his debut in La Liga on 24 August, being sent off in the 56th minute of an eventual 1–3 home loss to SD Eibar.[7]

After being diagnosed with aplastic anemia, Ruiz was inactive for more than one year.[8] On 10 January 2018, he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with RCD Mallorca.[9]

On 7 February 2019, Valencia activated their buy-back clause on Ruiz's contract; the player agreed a deal until June 2023, remaining on loan at Mallorca until the end of the season.[10] On 2 September, however, he joined Deportivo de La Coruña of the second division for three years.[11]
