Club career

[edit]

Málaga

[edit]

Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Recio was a product of local Málaga CF's youth system. He made his first-team debut on 11 November 2010 shortly after the arrival of manager Manuel Pellegrini who succeeded sacked Jesualdo Ferreira, starting in a Copa del Rey 3–2 home win against Hércules CF, in the round-of-32's second leg (3–2 on aggregate).[2] Ten days later he first appeared in La Liga, again as a starter but in a 3–0 loss at Deportivo de La Coruña.[3]

Late into the month, after performing solidly in his first matches, Recio signed his first professional contract, linking him with Málaga until the summer of 2015.[4] On 5 December 2010 he scored his first goal as a senior, in a 4–1 home victory over Racing de Santander.[5]

On 9 January 2013, after featuring rarely during the first half of the season, Recio was loaned to neighbouring and fellow league club Granada CF, until June.[6] He made his debut five days later, coming on as a substitute in a 2−2 away draw against Getafe CF.[7] He netted his first goal for the side on the 19th, in a 2−0 home defeat of Rayo Vallecano that also was his first start.[8]

Upon returning Recio became an undisputed starter, signing a contract extension until 2018 on 11 December 2014.[9] On 21 February 2017, he renewed his link until 2021.[10]

Leganés

[edit]

On 31 August 2018, after Málaga's relegation from the top flight, Recio signed a four-year deal with CD Leganés.[11] On 4 September 2020, as Lega met the same fate as his previous club, he was loaned to SD Eibar for one year.[12]

International career

[edit]

On 24 March 2011, courtesy of his performances with Málaga's first team, Recio made his debut with Spain under-21s, in a friendly against France.[13] Also that year, he represented his country in the FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Colombia, appearing in four games in an eventual quarter-final exit.
