Capi went to play over 300 competitive games for the Estadio Benito Villamarín-based club, always as an important part of the squad.[4] He scored his first goal for them on 19 November 2000, albeit in a 1–3 home defeat to neighbouring Sevilla FC where he excelled before being stretchered off with 15 minutes to go and the score at 1–1,[5] as the campaign in Segunda División ended in promotion for both sides in the city. However, in 2004–05, as the team achieved a fourth place in the league, with qualification to the UEFA Champions League, he appeared in only 11 matches, mainly due to injuries.[1]
After another two-and-a-half-month spell in the sidelines, Capi returned to action on 4 April 2009, netting as a second-half substitute in a 3–3 home draw with CD Numancia.[6][7] Betis were eventually relegated to division two.[1]
Capi continued to be bothered with injuries in the 2009–10 season, but still contributed 26 appearances – only three complete – as the club failed to regain its lost status.[1] On 19 June 2010, the 33-year-old appeared in his last game as a Verdiblanco, the useless 4–0 home win over Levante UD (they finished in fourth place, tied with both the second and third-placed teams), his contract subsequently expiring and not being renewed.[8]
Later career
In summer 2012, after a couple of second-tier campaigns with another side in his native region, Xerez CD,[9] Capi signed with amateurs Camas Club de Fútbol, his first-ever club as a footballer.[10] He retired in 2014 at age 37, being immediately appointed as Juan Merino's assistant manager at Betis B.[11]
