Born in Seville, Andalusia, Súper graduated from the youth academy of Real Betis, and reached the reserves midway through the 2010–11 season. He made his debut in Segunda División B on 2 January 2011, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–2 home draw against Lucena CF.[1]
Real Betis B
On 9 March 2012, Súper was called to the first team by manager Pepe Mel for a La Liga match against Real Madrid,[2] but he remained on the bench in the 2–3 home loss the following day.[3] After leaving the Estadio Benito Villamarín he continued to compete in the third level, representing in quick succession Elche CF Ilicitano,[4] FC Cartagena,[5] CD San Roque de Lepe and CF Villanovense.[6]
Caudal Deportivo
Súper signed with Tercera División club Caudal Deportivo in the last minutes of the 2016 winter transfer window.[7] He appeared in 16 matches across all competitions in his debut campaign (including the play-offs), helping to promotion. On 10 December 2017, he was released.[8]
Ceres–Negros
On 31 December 2016, Súper moved abroad for the first time as he joined Ceres-Negros of the Philippines Football League (PFL). He was recruited by the club's coach, Risto Vidaković, who was his former coach at Betis B.[9] Súper headed the consolation goal in their 2–1 PFL defeat by Meralco Manila on 16 August 2017.[10][11] Ceres ended the season as winners of the PFL's inaugural title.[12] He also played in the 2017 AFC Cup.[13] In the 2018 AFC Cup group match against Home United, he headed the equalising goal from Manny Ott's corner kick, forcing a 1–1 draw.[14]
In the first leg of the ASEAN zonal semifinal, he contributed a goal in their 4–2 win over Yangon United.[15] In the 2018 PFL, Ceres successfully defended their title.[16] Súper was part of the squad that won the 2019 domestic double without a single defeat.[17] He scored the first goal in their 3–0 win over Philippine Air Force on 17 August.[18] He last played for Ceres in the 2020 AFC Cup as tournaments were suspended or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19][20] The financial impact of the pandemic forced the club to terminate its players' contracts. After a change in ownership, majority of the Ceres players re-signed but Súper did not.[21]
