Club career
[edit]Grego was born in Murcia, and was a Real Murcia youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves in 2011, in Tercera División.
In 2012 Grego moved to another reserve team, Atlético Madrid C also in the fourth tier. On 30 July of the following year he joined fellow league team SD Noja,[2] but after being rarely used he terminated his contract and signed for Mar Menor CF in January 2014.
On 10 July 2015, after another one-year spell back at Murcia's B-side, Grego first arrived in Segunda División B, after agreeing to a contract with La Hoya Lorca CF.[3] Roughly one year later, he joined fellow league side Valencia CF Mestalla.[4]
On 28 June 2017, after missing out promotion in the play-offs, Grego signed a two-year contract with Segunda División club CD Numancia.[5] He made his professional debut on 6 September, starting in a 1–0 away win against Real Oviedo, for the season's Copa del Rey.[6]
On 23 January 2019, Grego agreed to a six-month contract with UCAM Murcia CF in the third division, after terminating his contract with Numancia.[7] On 15 July, he moved to fellow league team CE Sabadell FC,[8] being a regular starter as his side achieved promotion to the second tier.
On 31 July 2020, Grego renewed with the Arquelinats for a further campaign.[9] On 6 July 2021, after the club's relegation, he joined Burgos CF also in the second division.[10]
Grego scored his first professional goal on 3 October 2021, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over CD Mirandés. On 3 July 2024, Burgos announced his departure as his contract had already expired.[11]
On 3 July 2024, Grego moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a one-year contract with Romanian side CS Universitatea Craiova.[12]
