Club career

Oviedo

Viti was born in Pola de Laviana, Laviana, Asturias. A Real Oviedo youth graduate, he made his senior debut with the reserves on 10 May 2015, aged only 17, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 away win against Atlético de Lugones SD in the Tercera División.

Despite being still registered with the Juvenil squad, Viti was called up to the first team for a Segunda División match against CD Leganés on 26 May 2016.[1] He made his professional debut just hours later, replacing Jon Erice in the 79th minute of the 0–1 home defeat.[2]

Viti scored his first senior goal on 13 November 2016, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Sporting de Gijón B. The following 7 May, he renewed his contract with the club.[3]

On 11 June 2019, Viti was one of the seven players from the B-side who were promoted to the main squad for the 2019–20 campaign.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 15 August 2021, netting the opener in a 2–2 home draw against CD Lugo.

On 14 January 2022, after being regularly used under manager José Ángel Ziganda, Viti renewed his contract with the Carbayones until 2024.[5] In December 2023, he started to feature as a right-back due to the injuries of Lucas Ahijado and Mario Hernández, and subsequently became a first-choice in that position.[6]

Las Palmas

On 1 July 2024, free agent Viti signed a three-year contract with La Liga side UD Las Palmas.[7]
