Perspective
Born in La Algaba, Province of Seville, Andalusia, Torres played youth football with local club Real Betis. His professional input in his homeland consisted of two Segunda División games as a substitute with Villarreal CF's B team, the first being on 27 August 2010 in a 3–0 away loss against Real Valladolid.[1][2]
In the summer of 2011, 20-year-old Torres moved to Germany and signed for FC Schalke 04, being assigned to the reserve side in Regionalliga West.[3] Two years later, upon expiration of his two-year contract, he joined Karlsruher SC also in the country on a three-year deal.[4] He made his professional debut in German football on 16 August 2013, playing the last minutes of the 1–2 2. Bundesliga home defeat to SpVgg Greuther Fürth.[5] During his spell at the Wildparkstadion he was often deployed as a right winger,[6][7] and he scored his first league goal for the team on 20 October 2013, contributing to a 2–2 draw at 1. FC Kaiserslautern.[8]
On 9 June 2017, free agent Torres signed with Greuther Fürth for three seasons.[9] He left the club in the following transfer window having failed to find the net and provided one assist, and joined AEL Limassol from the Cypriot First Division.[10]
Torres agreed to a two-year deal at Polish III liga team Wieczysta Kraków on 7 September 2022.[11] In June 2025, after contributing to Wieczysta's two successive promotions, Torres was released upon the expiration of his contract.[12]
