Club career

Born in Tudela de Duero, Valladolid, Castile and León, Miguel joined Real Valladolid's youth setup in 2013, aged 13.[2] On 26 March 2017, aged just 17, he made his senior debut with the reserves by starting in a 0–0 away draw against Burgos CF in the Segunda División B.

On 20 November 2017, Miguel renewed his contract until 2021.[3] Six days later he scored his first senior goal, netting the equalizer for the B-team in a 1–1 draw at Pontevedra CF.

On 21 October 2018, Miguel made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, coming on as a late substitute for Enes Ünal in a 1–0 away defeat of Real Betis.[4] On 1 October 2020, he was loaned to Segunda División side CD Leganés for one year.[5]

Miguel scored his first professional goal on 11 April 2021, netting the equalizer in a 1–2 away loss against RCD Espanyol. On 16 May, he scored a brace in a 3–0 home success over UD Logroñés.

On 23 August 2021, free agent Miguel signed a four-year contract with Deportivo Alavés of the top tier.[6] He scored his first goal in the category on 11 May of the following year, netting the opener in a 2–1 home win over Espanyol.

On 1 September 2023, Miguel returned to Lega on a one-year loan deal.[7]
