Club career

Born in A Coruña, Galicia, Pinchi joined Deportivo de La Coruña's youth setup in 2005 at the age of nine.[3] He made his debut as a senior with the reserves in 2012, representing the side in Tercera División.

Pinchi made his official debut for the first team on 16 December 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Luis Alberto in a 1–1 home draw against UE Llagostera, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4] His La Liga debut came on 20 January 2017, replacing Joselu in an away draw against UD Las Palmas for the same scoreline.[5]

On 27 June 2018, Pinchi left Dépor and joined Atlético de Madrid, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[6] On 19 July of the following year, he agreed to a three-year contract with Segunda División side Extremadura UD.[7]

Pinchi scored his first professional goal on 8 February 2020, netting his team's second in a 2–4 home loss against CD Tenerife. On 12 July, he scored a brace in a 3–2 win at former side Deportivo, and finished the campaign with five goals as his side suffered relegation.

On 9 September 2020, Pinchi was loaned to CF Fuenlabrada in the second division, for one year.[8] The following 19 July, he moved to fellow league team UD Las Palmas on a three-year contract.[9]

On 30 August 2022, Pinchi was loaned to CD Mirandés also in the second division, for one year.[10] On 10 August of the following year, he was transferred to Turkish Süper Lig club Çaykur Rizespor.[11]

On 1 February 2024, Pinchi returned to Spain and its second division, after agreeing to a loan deal with Racing de Ferrol.[12]
