Club career edit

Born in Vilafranca del Penedès, Barcelona, Catalonia, Pachón joined Girona FC's youth setup in 2017, from Club Gimnàstic Manresa.[1] He made his senior debut with farm team CF Peralada-Girona B on 26 August 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute for Maximiliano Villa in a 1–4 Segunda División B loss against Valencia CF Mestalla.

Pachón scored his first senior goal on 23 September 2018, netting the equalizer in a 2–2 home draw against CD Atlético Baleares.[2] He made his professional debut the following 31 January, replacing fellow youth graduate Paik Seung-ho in a 1–3 home defeat to Real Madrid, for the season's Copa del Rey; he also assisted Pedro Porro's goal.[3]

On 14 August 2019, Pachón was loaned to third division newcomers FC Andorra for one year.[4] The following 17 January, he moved to fellow league team AE Prat, also in a temporary deal.[5]
