Club career

Born in Estrecho de San Ginés, Cartagena, Region of Murcia, Santiago joined Valencia CF's at the age of 14, after representing EF Torre Pacheco, FC Cartagena and CD Minera.[1] On 5 February 2022, he first appeared with the reserves in a 2–2 Tercera División RFEF away draw against UD Benigànim, but was only an unused substitute.

On 1 April 2022, Santiago renewed his contract with the Che until 2026.[2] Eighteen days later, he made his first team – and La Liga – debut, replacing Yunus Musah in a 0–2 away loss against Villarreal CF.[3][4]
