Javi Fuego

Rayo Vallecano For 2010–11, Fuego joined Rayo Vallecano, quickly establishing himself as first choice for the Madrid club and helping it to a second-place finish and subsequent top-division promotion.

He rarely missed a match in his subsequent two-year spell in that tier, helping his team consecutively retain their status.

Valencia In January 2013, months before the season was over, it was announced that Fuego would not renew his expiring contract with Rayo, agreeing to a three-year deal with fellow league club Valencia CF as of 1 July. He made his official debut on 17 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Málaga CF.

Fuego scored the first brace of his professional career on 23 March 2014, netting both of his team's goals in a 2–1 victory over Villarreal CF also at the Mestalla Stadium. On 1 April 2015, he renewed his link until 30 June 2017 with the option of a further season.

Fuego played seven games in the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League in a group-stage exit, the first being a 3–1 home defeat of AS Monaco FC in the play-off round where he came on as a second-half substitute for Paco Alcácer.

Espanyol On 13 August 2016, Fuego signed a three-year contract with RCD Espanyol. He started in 29 of his 31 league appearances in his first season, scoring once in an eventual eighth-place finish.

Villarreal On 30 January 2018, aged 34, Fuego joined Villarreal on a two-and-a-half-year deal. He featured rarely during his spell in the Valencian Community, due to injuries and a bacterial infection.

Return to Sporting Fuego returned to first club Sporting on 26 June 2019, after agreeing to a two-year contract. He announced his retirement on 23 July 2021.
