Club career

Born Cabezón de la Sal, Cantabria, Rivero was a product of local Racing de Santander's youth system. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 12 April 2012, starting in the 0–3 home loss against RCD Mallorca.[1]

On 16 July 2013, after suffering two consecutive relegations with his first club, Rivero signed with Segunda División side CD Tenerife.[2] He scored his first professional goal on 20 April of the following year, the winner in a 3–2 home victory over CD Numancia.[3]

On 3 August 2015, after being deemed surplus to requirements by manager Raül Agné, Rivero moved to FC Cartagena of Segunda División B.[4] He continued competing in that tier the following seasons, with Racing,[5] Recreativo de Huelva[6] and Real Unión.[7]
