Career Early career Born in Salamanca, Region of León, González began his career with Real Valladolid, making his first-team – and La Liga – debut in the 1–0 home win over UD Las Palmas on 7 October 2001, one month shy of his 19th birthday. Establishing himself as a regular by the start of the 2002–03 season, he was their best scorer in the following year at 10, in spite of a final relegation.

Zaragoza Subsequently, González moved to Real Zaragoza where he was a regular fixture throughout four seasons, whether as a starter or a substitute. His best scoring output came during his first season, with six goals (two being in a 2–2 draw at CA Osasuna).

Olympiacos After Zaragoza's relegation in 2007–08, González joined Olympiacos F.C. in the summer transfer window on a three-year deal, joining his compatriot Ernesto Valverde's roster. During his two-year spell, he totalled 68 games and netted nine times while providing five assists.

Return to Valladolid On 1 September 2010, Olympiacos parted ways with González, who signed a one-year contract with his first professional club Valladolid, now playing in the Segunda División. On 20 July 2011, he signed a two-year extension with the option of making his link a permanent one.

González scored 14 goals in the 2011–12 season, as the Pucelanos returned to the top flight after two years. Being deployed more often as a second striker in 2014–15, he bettered that total to 16 as the team again competed in the second tier.

After retiring, González owned a restaurant in Valladolid.
