Football career

Born in Logroño, La Rioja, Agustín began his professional career with CD Mirandés, moving in 2001 to Segunda División B team Amurrio Club. In the following summer he returned to his previous club, achieving promotion to that level in his first season.

In 2004, Agustín joined Algeciras CF also in division three, continuing to play in that tier in 2005–06, with Terrassa FC. He returned to Mirandés for a third stint afterwards, contributing with 14 games in the 2011–12 campaign (1,020 minutes overall) as his team achieved promotion in the playoffs, reaching Segunda División for the first time in their history.

Agustín made his debut in the latter competition on 6 October 2012 – at the age of 33 years and five months – starting in a 1–2 home loss against Elche CF.[1] He scored his first professional goal on 1 December 2013, but in a 1–3 defeat at CE Sabadell FC.[2]

On 11 August 2014, aged 35, Agustín announced his retirement, being immediately appointed his last club's fitness coach.[3]
