Football career

Born in Elche, Alicante, Valencian Community, Rico began his professional career at neighbouring Levante UD, making his senior debuts with the B-team in the 2002–03 season, in Tercera División. He first arrived in Segunda División B in 2005, signing for UD Almansa.

Rico spent the following seven years competing in the third level, representing Levante B, FC Cartagena (two stints),[1] Lorca Deportiva CF, Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, Deportivo Alavés and Orihuela CF.[2] In the 2012–13 campaign he was an important midfield unit for the second club, participating in 22 of the 46 goals scored by the club, assisting in 18 and scoring four himself.[3]

On 28 June 2013 Rico signed with CD Tenerife, freshly promoted to Segunda División.[4] On 18 August he played his first professional match, starting in a 0–1 away loss against AD Alcorcón.[5]

On 21 January of the following year Rico moved to Real Jaén, also in the second tier.[6] After the Andalusians' relegation he joined UE Llagostera, recently promoted to the second level.[7]

Rico rescinded with the Catalans on 30 January 2015,[8] joining CF Reus Deportiu hours later.[9]
