After scoring in a regular basis for the youth categories, he was promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2025–26 season, in Tercera Federación, and made his senior debut on 6 September by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–1 away win over Calvo Sotelo Puertollano CF.[1]
Morientes scored his first senior goal on 12 October 2025, netting the B's opener in a 2–1 home win over CD Marchamalo.[2] He made his first team debut on 21 November, replacing Dani Escriche late into a 2–1 Segunda División away loss to UD Las Palmas;[3] by doing so, he repeated the feat of his uncle 32 years later.[4][5]

Morientes' uncle Fernando was also a footballer.[6][7] A notorious striker, he too was part of the youth academy at Albacete.
