Club career

Born in Villarreal, Castellón, Valencian Community, González represented hometown side Villarreal CF as a youth before moving to Tercera División side CD Almazora [es] on 18 October 2016.[1] He made his senior debut five days later, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Ontinyent CF.

In 2017, González signed for

UE Llagostera.[2]

On 22 July 2021, González agreed to a contract with

Primera División RFEF side FC Andorra.[3] He was mainly a backup option to Adrià Vilanova and Álex Pastor during the season, as the club achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División.[4]

On 29 July 2022, González was loaned to CD Eldense in the third tier, for one year.[5] A regular starter, he contributed with one goal in 41 appearances overall as the side returned to the second level after a 59-year absence.[6]

Back to the Tricolors in July 2023,[6] González made his professional debut on 13 August, coming on as a late substitute for Julen Lobete in a 1–0 away win over CD Leganés.[7]
