Born in Fuengirola, Province of Málaga, Juanfri made his senior debut at the age of just 16 with local club UD Fuengirola Los Boliches in the Tercera División, scoring a hat-trick in a 9–0 win against Úbeda CF. In the 2008–09 season he moved to another modest side in Andalusia, Unión Estepona CF, partnering former Málaga CF legend Catanha up front,[1] and both were instrumental as they first promoted to Segunda División B;[2] in the process, he netted the team's first-ever goal in the fourth tier of Spanish football.[3]
Juanfri signed with Málaga in July 2009, being assigned to the reserves in division four.[3] He made his first-team debut on 7 January 2010, in a 2–1 home defeat of Getafe CF in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.[4]
Juanfri did not appear in any more competitive games for Málaga and, in summer 2012, left for neighbouring Écija Balompié in the third division.[5] On 31 January 2013, however, he moved abroad and joined I-League franchise Sporting Clube de Goa until the end of the season.[6][7]
Juanfri made his first appearance for his new team on 1 February 2013, being replaced in the 81st minute of the fixture against Churchill Brothers SC (1–0 home victory).[8] He scored his first goal on 20 March, equalising an eventual 3–1 win at Salgaocar FC through a penalty.[9]
In June 2013, Juanfri was released.[10] He went on to resume his career in his country's lower leagues.[11][12]
Early into the 2017 January transfer window, Juanfri left FC Saburtalo Tbilisi from Georgia and joined Tercera División club Antequera CF.[13] On 3 August 2018, he signed for St Joseph's in Gibraltar,[14] where he formed an efficient attacking partnership with his compatriot Salva Boro;[15] in 2020, he led a list of Spanish players abroad by scoring 21 goals in a calendar year.[16]
