Club career edit
Born in Burgos, Castile and León, Vallejo joined CD Numancia's youth setup in 2012, from hometown side CD Burgos Promesas 2000. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 30 August 2014, starting in a 1–1 Tercera División home draw against Real Ávila CF.
On 9 August 2016, after two seasons as a starter, Vallejo signed for Segunda División B side Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, mainly as a cover for injured Jorge Palatsí.[1] He was a first-choice during the most of the campaign, only losing his starting spot after Palatsí recovered, as Cultu achieved promotion to Segunda División after a 42-year absence.
On 2 August 2017, Vallejo was loaned to Elche CF also in the third division,[2] and was a backup option to José Juan as the club returned to division two at first attempt. On 16 November 2018, after more than four months without a club, he moved to UD San Sebastián de los Reyes in the same category,[3] but featured just once before joining fellow league team Real Valladolid Promesas the following 16 January.[4]
On 19 June 2019, Vallejo agreed to a contract with CD Guijuelo, still in division three.[5] After establishing himself as a starter, he moved to fellow league team Algeciras CF on 3 August 2020,[6] where he was also a first-choice.
On 12 July 2021, Vallejo signed for Segunda División RFEF side CD Eldense.[7] He immediately became a starter for the club, as they achieved two consecutive promotions to return to the second level after 59 years.[8]
Vallejo made his professional debut at the age of 28 on 13 August 2023, starting in a 1–0 away win over FC Cartagena.[9]
