Born in Madrid, Llorente graduated from the Atlético Madrid youth system, playing three seasons with the reserve side in the Segunda División B.[2] In 2008–09 he first appeared in the Segunda División, starting and being relegated with Alavés.[3][4]
After one more year with the Basques, Llorente returned to the second tier and signed a two-year contract with Xerez.[5] In January 2012, however, he moved back to division three and joined Tenerife,[6] helping the club to achieve promotion at the end of the 2012–13 campaign by contributing 29 games and two goals (play-offs included).[7]
In another January transfer window, in 2014, Llorente moved abroad for the first time, going on to spend several seasons in the Super League Greece with Kalloni[8] and Platanias.[9] On 28 August 2017, the 31-year-old agreed to a one-year contract with Western Sydney Wanderers of the Australian A-League.[10]
Llorente returned to football on 25 December 2020, joining third division club Villarrobledo.[11]
International career edit
Llorente represented Spain at the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship,[12][13] making five appearances in the competition for the runners-up.[14]
