Club career

edit

Born in Utrera, Seville, Andalusia, Valverde was a Real Betis youth graduate. After playing for both C and B-teams, he moved to Segunda División B side AD Ceuta in 2008.

Valverde subsequently resumed his career in the third division, representing Écija Balompié (two stints),[1] UB Conquense, CP Cacereño,[2] CF Villanovense[3] and Extremadura UD,[4] achieving promotion to Segunda División with the latter in 2018. On 19 August 2018, aged 33, he made his professional debut by starting in a 1–1 away draw against Real Oviedo.[5]

Valverde scored his first professional goal on 30 September 2018, netting the last in a 2–0 home defeat of Elche CF.[6] In December, however, he suffered a knee injury which took him out of the remainder of the season; his contract was immediately renewed by Extremadura.[7]

On 17 January 2020, Valverde cut ties with the Azulgranas,[8] and signed a 18-month deal with Córdoba CF in the third division just hours later.[9]
