Club career

Born in Estepa, Seville, Andalusia, Friaza played for local sides Estepa Industrial CD,[1] EF Peloteros Sierra Sur and Puente Genil FC before joining Elche CF's youth setup in 2020.[2] He made his senior debut with the latter's reserves on 17 April 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 Tercera División away loss against Atlético Saguntino.[3]

Definitely promoted to the B-side ahead of the 2021–22 campaign, Friaza scored his first senior goal on 12 September 2021, netting the second of a 2–0 away win over CF Recambios Colón.[4] On 28 November, he scored a brace in a 5–0 home routing of Silla CF.[5]

Friaza made his first team debut for the Franjiverdes on 20 January 2022, replacing Guido Carrillo in extra time of a 1–2 home loss to Real Madrid in the season's Copa del Rey.[6][7] He suffered a knee injury in April, only returning to action in January 2023.[8]

On 29 June 2023, Friaza moved to Xerez Deportivo FC also in the fifth tier.[9] He continued to play in that category in the following years, representing CF Gandía,[10] CD Leganés B[11] and CD Toledo.[12]
