Club career

Born in Murcia, Espín finished his youth career at Real Valladolid's youth system, and made his senior debuts with Pinatar CF in the fourth division. In the same category, he also played for Orihuela CF and Ciudad de Murcia's reserves.

On 26 May 2007, Espín made his second level debut with the latter's first team, playing three minutes against CD Numancia. He finished the season with a further two league appearances, totalling just 147 minutes of action. In the 2007 summer Espín joined Real Jaén, in division three. Two years later, he renewed his contract with the Andalusians for another two years.[1]

On the last day of 2011 winter transfer window, Espín signed a six-month deal with SD Eibar, also in the third tier.[2] On 9 July 2012 he returned to the second division, after agreeing to a one-year contract with CD Guadalajara.[3]

On 14 June 2014, aged 28, Espín moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Football League (Greece) team AEL 1964 FC.[4] On 24 December, however, he returned to his homeland, joining second level's CD Mirandés.[5]
