Club career
[edit]Born in Santander, Cantabria, Mika was a Racing de Santander youth graduate. Shortly after making his debuts as a senior with the reserves in Tercera División, he left the club and went on a trial at FC Luzern in Switzerland.
On 22 February 2013, after scoring a hat-trick in a friendly, Mika signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Swiss club.[2] However, he would only appear with the reserves in 1. Liga Classic, and left the club in January 2015 after joining UM Escobedo.
On 5 August 2015, Mika joined SD Huesca and was immediately assigned to the farm team also in the fourth tier.[3] On 4 June 2016, after scoring 19 goals for the B-side, he made his professional debut by coming on as a late substitute for Héctor Figueroa in a 1–0 Segunda División home win against CD Lugo.[4]
On 7 September 2016, Mika signed for CD Sariñena also in the fourth tier.[5]
On 25 March 2022, Mika returned to KTP in Finland for the 2022 season.[6]
