Club career

Born in Valencia, Granero finished his development at local giants Valencia CF. He made his senior debut with neighbouring Villajoyosa CF in the 2009–10 season,[1] suffering relegation from Segunda División B.

In late January 2011, after returning to the Che, with the reserves in Tercera División, Granero was sold to Recreativo de Huelva of the Segunda División. He made his official debut for his new club on 29 May in a 2–0 away loss against Villarreal CF B,[2] one of only two league appearances during the campaign.

On 30 July 2013, after being rarely used, Granero signed with Racing de Santander, recently relegated to the third division.[3] A regular starter, he achieved promotion to the second tier in his first season but was relegated in the second.[4]

Granero returned to division two on 24 July 2018, after agreeing to a contract with Extremadura UD.[5] On 3 September 2020, after suffering relegation, he signed a three-year deal with Deportivo de La Coruña who also went down.[6]

Personal life

Granero's father, José Carlos, was also a footballer. He too was developed at Valencia.[7][1]
