Club career

Born in Moraleja de Enmedio, Community of Madrid,[3] Damián joined CF Fuenlabrada's youth setup in 2018, aged 15, after representing CF Trival Valderas and CD Móstoles URJC. On 16 December 2020, before even having appeared with the reserves, he made his first team debut at the age of 17 by coming on as a late substitute for Tahiru Awudu in a 1–0 away success over CD Atlético Baleares, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4][5]

Damián made his professional debut on 19 December 2020; after replacing Jano in the 57th minute, he scored his team's third six minutes later in a 3–2 Segunda División away win against RCD Mallorca.[6] He also became the youngest player of Fuenla to debut (also to score) in professional football.[7]
