Club career

[edit]

Ropero is a youth product of the Basque clubs CD Ariznabarra and CD Aurrerá de Vitoria, before moving to Deportivo Alavés' academy in 2019.[1] He began his senior career with the reserves in 2020, and after one appearance he spent the rest of the 2020–21 season with farm team Club San Ignacio in the Tercera Federación.[2]

Ropero returned to Alavés in July 2021, and was part of their senior squad in the pre-season.[3] On 21 March 2022, he signed a professional contract with the club for two seasons.[4] He made his senior and professional debut with Alavés as a substitute in a 1–0 loss to Cádiz CF on 22 May 2022.[5]

On 26 June 2024, Ropero was loaned to Segunda División side CD Eldense for the 2024–25 campaign.[6]
