Career
Born in Santander, Cantabria, Toca began his career with local side Peña Paco Liaño, and joined Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa's youth sides in 2021, from Club Bansander.[1] He was promoted to farm team Júpiter Leonés in Tercera Federación ahead of the 2022–23 season, where he scored once in 19 appearances.
On 1 September 2023, Toca was promoted to Cultu's main squad in Primera Federación,[2] and renewed his contract until 2026 five days later.[3] He first appeared with the main squad on 8 October, after coming on as a late substitute for Bicho in a 2–1 home win over CF Rayo Majadahonda.
On 4 July 2024, after featuring rarely, Toca was loaned to Segunda Federación side Gimnástica de Torrelavega, for one year.[4] Upon returning, he appeared in the pre-season with the main squad now in Segunda División, and made his professional debut on 24 August 2025, replacing injured Matía Barzic in a 1–0 home loss to UD Almería.[5]
