Career

edit

Born in Alba de Tormes, Salamanca, Castile and León, Pica represented Salamanca CF UDS, CD Alba de Tormes CF and CD Guijuelo as a youth. He made his senior debut with the latter on 21 March 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Miguel Fernández in a 1–0 Segunda División B away loss to Racing de Ferrol.

On 10 August 2022, Pica moved to CD Mirandés and was assigned to the reserves in Tercera Federación.[1] The following 12 July, he returned to the Chacineros, now in Segunda Federación,[2] and was a regular starter during the campaign as the club missed out promotion in the play-offs.[3]

On 17 July 2024, Pica signed for Deportivo Alavés and was initially assigned to the B-team also in the fourth division.[4] After spending the pre-season with the main squad, he made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 28 August, starting in a 2–1 away win over Real Sociedad.[5]
