Club career

Núñez was born in Siruela, Province of Badajoz. He spent the better part of his first nine seasons as a senior with Albacete Balompié, also representing their reserves and CF Villanovense (on loan) in the Tercera División.[1]

Núñez made his Segunda División debut with the first team on 30 January 2010, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute in a 2–2 home draw against Rayo Vallecano and scoring the game's last goal.[2][3] He was relegated twice with the club from that tier,[4] making 212 competitive appearances during his spell.[5]

After leaving the Estadio Carlos Belmonte, Núñez continued to play in the third division, with SD Ponferradina, RCD Mallorca,[6] UD Ibiza,[7] CF Badalona, CD Badajoz[8] and CD Eldense.[9] On 24 August 2023, after helping the latter side in their second-tier promotion, the 36-year-old terminated his contract[10] and returned to Badajoz, now in the Segunda Federación.[11]
