Club career

Muñoz was called up by the reserves in late September 2014, and made his debut for the side in a 0–3 home loss against SD Amorebieta for the Segunda División B championship.[2] On 1 December 2014 he was included in the main squad's 17-man list for a Copa del Rey match against UE Cornellà.[3]
