Club career

Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, Tropi joined Valencia CF's youth setup in 2002, aged seven.[1] He was promoted to the reserves in July 2014,[2] and made his senior debut on 24 August, starting in a 1–2 away loss against RCD Mallorca B for the Segunda División B championship.[3]

On 25 January 2015 Tropi scored his first senior goal in a 1–1 home draw against Huracán Valencia CF.[4] A day later, he was called up to the main squad by manager Nuno Espírito Santo.[5]

After being an unused substitute in a 1–0 home win against Getafe CF on 15 February 2015, Tropi made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 20 March 2015, coming on as a late substitute for Dani Parejo in a 4–0 away routing over Elche CF.[6] On 25 July 2016, he was loaned to Segunda División side AD Alcorcón for two years.[7]

On 11 July 2017, Tropi joined fellow second tier club Lorca FC.[8] He left Valencia on 30 June of the following year as his contract was not renewed,[9] and signed a one-year deal with Recreativo de Huelva on 15 August.[10]

On 19 July 2019, Tropi signed a two-year contract with another reserve team, Atlético Madrid B also in division three.[11]
