Club career
Trashorras in action for Celta

Born in Rábade, Province of Lugo, Galicia, Trashorras finished his football formation with FC Barcelona, playing one game with the first team on 6 October 2001, a 1–2 La Liga away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña where he came on as a second-half substitute for Alfonso Pérez.[1] In the summer of 2003 he moved to Real Madrid, never graduating however from their reserves.[2]

For 2005–06, Trashorras joined Segunda División side CD Numancia. He appeared very little during his tenure – less than one third of the games[3]– and switched to UD Las Palmas also in the second level the following season, finally establishing himself in professional football.[4]

In July 2008, Trashorras signed a five-year contract with RC Celta de Vigo of division two.[5] An undisputed starter from the beginning he had his best season in 2009–10, scoring nine goals in 38 matches and helping the Galicians to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, where they were ousted by eventual finalists Atlético Madrid (2–1 on aggregate, with the player netting in the first leg in Madrid in a 1–1 draw).[6][7][8]

On 11 August 2011, after reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with Celta, Trashorras signed a contract with Rayo Vallecano, freshly promoted to the top tier.[9] On 31 January 2018, after seven seasons as an undisputed starter and captain,[10] the 37-year-old left the club.[11]

On 29 August 2018, after several months of inactivity, Trashorras announced his retirement from professional football.[12]
