Club career

[edit]

Málaga

[edit]

Born in Marbella, Province of Málaga, Andalusia,[2] Ontiveros joined Málaga CF's youth setup in 2010, after spells at CD Vázquez Cultural and Real Betis.[3] On 24 June 2015, even before appearing for the reserves, he was called up by manager Javi Gracia for the preseason with the main squad.[4]

Ontiveros made his debut as a senior on 22 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 away win against CD Comarca del Mármol in the Tercera División.[5] He scored his first senior goal on 13 September, closing the 2–0 home victory over CD Rincón.[6] He scored a brace in a 3–0 defeat of CD Español del Alquián on 31 October.[7]

On 21 November 2015, Ontiveros made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, replacing Arthur Boka in a 2–0 away loss to RCD Espanyol.[8] He only appeared in three matches more during the campaign, all from the bench, but scored 11 goals for the B team in the fourth division.

On 19 October 2016, Ontiveros scored once and provided three assists for Málaga's under-19 team in a 5–0 home rout of FC Nitra in the first round of the UEFA Youth League.[9] He made his first league appearance of the season on 4 November 2016, in a 3–2 win over Sporting de Gijón; coming on in the 57th minute, he assisted Sandro Ramírez for the second goal eight minutes later.[10] He scored his first professional goal on 26 November, a last-minute winner in the 4–3 home victory against Deportivo de La Coruña.[11]

Ontiveros was loaned to Segunda División side Real Valladolid in January 2018, until the end of the campaign.[12] He helped them to win promotion to the top flight in the play-offs, and subsequently returned to his parent club, now also in the second tier.[13]

Villarreal

[edit]

On 20 August 2019, Ontiveros signed a five-year contract with Villarreal CF.[14] On 24 September of the following year, having been mainly used as a substitute, he moved to SD Huesca of the same league on loan for one year,[15] where he started under Míchel but became a fringe player under Pacheta.[16]

On 27 August 2021, Ontiveros joined CA Osasuna also in the top division, on loan for the season.[17] This arrangement was terminated on 29 January 2022,[18] and he agreed to a permanent four-and-a-half-year deal at CF Fuenlabrada hours later; Villarreal also retained a buy-back clause.[19]

After Fuenlabrada's relegation, Ontiveros was not purchased by the club, and he returned to the Estadio de la Cerámica in July 2022.[20] He spent the 2022–23 campaign with Villarreal's B team in division two,[21] where he struggled to get significant playing time.[22]

Ontiveros scored a career-best nine goals in 2023–24 while also providing five assists, but his side went down as last; subsequently, he became a free agent.[23]

Later career

[edit]

On 20 June 2024, Ontiveros signed a four-year contract at Cádiz CF, also recently relegated but from the top tier.[24]
