Club career

Racing

Born in Sierra de Ibio, Mazcuerras, Cantabria, San Emeterio joined Racing de Santander's youth academy in 2007, aged 10.[1] On 14 January 2014, before even having appeared with the reserves, he made his senior debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 away win against UD Almería for the season's Copa del Rey.[2]

San Emeterio first appeared in Segunda División B on 10 May, again from the bench in a 1–1 away draw to Coruxo FC. On 24 August he played his first match as a professional, replacing Javi Soria in the 64th minute of a 0–1 away loss against Girona FC for the Segunda División.[3]

San Emeterio contributed with 35 appearances during the campaign, as his team suffered relegation. He scored his first senior goal on 4 October 2015, in a 2–0 victory at Sporting de Gijón B.[4]

Sevilla

On 16 August 2016, both San Emeterio and his brother moved to another reserve team, signing a three-year contract with Sevilla Atlético in the second level.[5] He netted three times from 39 games (all starts) in his second year, which ended in relegation after the last-place finish.[6]

Valladolid

On 16 August 2018, San Emeterio joined Real Valladolid on a three-year deal, being immediately loaned to Granada CF in the second division.[7] He made his La Liga debut while at the service of the former club, starting the 1–1 away draw against Real Madrid on 24 August 2019.[8]

Personal life

San Emeterio's twin brother, Borja, is also a footballer. A defender, he too was groomed at Racing.[9]
