Club career

edit

Born in Madrid, Basilio represented Rayo Vallecano and CDC Moscardó as a youth, making his senior debut for the latter in 2003. In 2005 he moved to Atlético Madrid, but only appeared for the club's C and B-teams.[1]

In 2009, after representing CD Cobeña and Getafe CF B, Basilio joined Tercera División side CF Fuenlabrada. An undisputed starter for the side, he achieved promotion to Segunda División B in 2012 but left the club in 2014.[2]

In August 2014, Basilio moved abroad and joined Indian Super League side Atlético de Kolkata.[3] However, he failed to appear a single minute after being a third-choice behind Apoula Edel and Subhasish Roy Chowdhury.

On 1 January 2015 Basilio returned to Spain, joining CF Trival Valderas in the fourth division.[4] On 20 May, he signed a short-term deal with CF Talavera de la Reina to play for the club in the play-offs.[5]

On 7 July 2015, Basilio moved to CF Rayo Majadahonda in the third tier.[6] An immediate first-choice, he contributed with 37 appearances during the 2017–18 season as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División for the first time ever.[citation needed]

On 19 August 2018, aged 34, Basilio made his professional debut by starting in a 1–2 away loss against Real Zaragoza.[7]
