Football career edit
López was born in Gijón, Asturias. While playing for his high school of Colegio de la Inmaculada (Gijón), he was recruited by La Liga club FC Barcelona at the age of 14, remaining with the youth academy for five years.[1] He began his senior career in the fourth division with UD Almería B, then moved to the third with another reserve team, Sporting de Gijón B.
For 2009–10, López returned to the fourth level and Almería's reserves, and also competed in that tier in the following season, with SD Noja. In the 2011 off-season he moved abroad and signed a one-year contract with Atlético Clube de Portugal, freshly promoted to division two.[2]
López played his first official match with the Lisbon club in a League Cup 1–1 away draw against Portimonense SC, on 7 August 2011.[3] He left at the end of the campaign, going on to compete in quick succession in Bulgaria, Israel, Cyprus, Mexico[4] and Oman.[5]
On 23 July 2019, López returned to Dhofar Club.[6]
