Club career

Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Ricky represented Real Oviedo and Astur CF as a youth. He made his senior debut with the former's reserves during the 2015–16 campaign, in Tercera División.

Riki subsequently served loan stints at CD Tineo[1] and Marino de Luanco[2] before joining Segunda División B side UP Langreo on a permanent deal on 11 July 2018.[3]

In February 2019, Riki agreed a pre-contract with former side Oviedo, effective as of 1 July; he was initially assigned back at the B-team, now in the third division.[4] He made his first team debut on 18 August, coming on as a late substitute for Alfredo Ortuño in a 2–3 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña for the Segunda División championship.[5]

Riki was definitely promoted to the main squad for the 2020–21 campaign, but moved out on loan to third division side Racing de Santander on 22 January 2021.[6]
