Club career

Born in Castellón de la Plana, Valencian Community, Liberto started his career at CD Castellón's youth setup. On 9 July 2014, still a youth, he was loaned to Elche CF for one year;^[2] initially assigned to the Juvenil squad, he made his senior debuts with the reserves in Segunda División B.

In July 2015 Liberto left Castellón,^[3] and subsequently returned to Elche. On 9 September he made his professional debut, starting and scoring his team's third in a 3–3 Copa del Rey away draw against UD Almería (3–4 loss on penalties).^[4]

On 14 January 2016, Liberto was loaned to CD Alcoyano in the third tier.^[5] Upon returning, he featured more regularly, and was definitely promoted to the main squad on 31 January 2017, being assigned the number 12 jersey.^[6]

On 29 August 2017, after Elche's relegation, Liberto moved to another reserve team, Betis Deportivo Balompié in the third division.^[7] Roughly one year later, he moved to fellow league team Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa on a one-year loan deal.^[8]

On 18 August 2020, after spending the previous campaign on loan at third division side Lleida Esportiu, Liberto moved to Albacete Balompié in the second level on a three-year contract.^[9] The following 22 January, after being sparingly used, he was loaned to UCAM Murcia CF for the remainder of the season.^[10]
