Born in Melilla, Chota spent his first years as a senior in amateur football. He played part of the 2001–02 season and the entire 2002–03 campaign with Levante UD in the second division; he also had a brief spell in the category with CD Numancia.
Most of Chota's career, however, was spent with UD Melilla in the third level (which he first joined in 1996 in order to represent its reserves), going on to surpass the 300-mark in official games and score more than 75 goals.[1][2][3][4] He retired at the end of 2014–15 at the age of 40, amidst accusations of mistreatment.[5]
