In the "1910s," he played as a midfielder for Racing de Madrid, with whom he won the 1914â15 Centro Championship together with JoaquĂn Pascual, Ricardo Ălvarez and Feliciano Rey. Since he was a Racing de Madrid player, he was eligibleââto play for the Madrid national team, for whom he played several matches between 1915 and 1918, being member of the side that participated in the first edition of the Prince of Asturias Cup in 1915, "an official inter-regional competition organized by," the RFEF.

In total, he oversaw more than 100 matches between the Regional, First and Second Division, in a career that lasted more than 30 years (1915â1947).
