Football career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Joaquín graduated with UDA Gramenet's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in 2005. He played his first match with the main squad on 15 March 2009, coming on as a second half substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Ontinyent CF for the Segunda División B championship.

In the 2011 summer, after Gramenet's relegation, Joaquín moved to fellow league team CF Badalona. He appeared regularly for the club during the course of three seasons, and joined UE Cornellà also in the third level on 7 August 2014.[1]

On 3 January 2015, after appearing rarely, Joaquín moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Cypriot First Division side Ethnikos Achna.[2] He played his first match as a professional on 2 February, starting in a 0–2 home loss against Apollon Limassol.

On 26 July 2017, Joaquín was announced as a player for Hong Kong Premier League club Dreams.[3]
