Football career

Born in Granollers, Barcelona, Catalonia, López played for both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid's B-teams to start his senior career. After appearing with the latter's main squad in two matches in the 2003–04 season, he represented Sevilla FC during two years. With the Andalusians he took part in ten games during the 2005–06 victorious campaign in the UEFA Cup, scoring the only goal in an away win against FC Lokomotiv Moscow,[1] and netted his first La Liga one in a 3–1 success at RCD Espanyol on 10 April 2005.[2]

In 2006–07 López played with RCD Mallorca, being loaned the following season to fellow league club Racing de Santander, where he was often used from the bench as the Cantabrians achieved a first-ever UEFA Cup qualification.

At the end of the season Mallorca released López, and he immediately started training with English Premier League side Portsmouth. However, on 19 August 2008, it was revealed he was having a trial with fellow top-divisioner Blackburn Rovers; both spells were unsuccessful and he returned to the Balearic Islands, being left to train on his own for the first months of the 2008–09 campaign and being finally released on 16 December.

In January 2009, López was expected to sign during the transfer window with Birmingham City of the Football League Championship, but failed his medical. In the following month he joined another club in the country and category, Queens Park Rangers, for the final 15 games of the season,[3] making his debut as a substitute for Matteo Alberti at Barnsley. He scored his first and only goal for QPR in a 2–1 home win against Bristol City, on 21 March 2009.[4]

After some speculation, López agreed terms to join former Queens Park Rangers boss Paulo Sousa at Swansea City on 16 July 2009, subject to a medical. Four days later, he signed a two-year deal.[5]

López failed to win a first-team berth during his two-season spell with the Welsh club, also struggling with injury. On 13 January 2011 he terminated his contract by mutual consent[6] and, the following day, signed with Eredivisie's Vitesse coached by countryman Albert Ferrer, leaving five months later.
