Club career

Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Jairo graduated with CD Tenerife's youth setup. He made his debuts as a senior with the reserves in 2011, in Tercera División.

On 2 July 2014 Jairo signed a new three-year deal with the club, being promoted to the main squad in Segunda División.[1] On 1 September, however, he was loaned to Segunda División B side Real Murcia, in a season-long deal.[2]

On 5 September 2015 Jairo made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Omar Perdomo in a 1–1 away draw against SD Huesca.[3] On 17 January 2017, after making no appearances during the campaign, he left the club by mutual consent[4] and joined UD Melilla just hours later.[5]

On 18 August 2018, Jairo signed a four-year contract with Girona FC in La Liga.[6] Eleven days later, he was loaned to second division side Cádiz CF for the season.[7]

Upon returning from loan, Jairo spent the 2019–20 campaign with his parent club, now also in the second division. On 5 October 2020, he returned to Cádiz, again in a one-year loan deal.[8]

Jairo returned to Girona in July 2021, and was converted into a left back during the pre-season, subsequently picking up the number 3 jersey.[9] On 8 July 2022, after the club's promotion to the top tier, he moved to FC Cartagena in the second division on a two-year deal.[10]
