Club career

Born in Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, Trigueros began his career with Real Murcia, making his senior debuts with the B-team and being released in June 2010 following the main squad's relegation from the second division.[1] Subsequently he signed for Villarreal CF, being assigned to the C-side.

Trigueros made his official debut with Villarreal B on 4 June 2011, playing 30 minutes in a 1–2 away loss against Real Betis for the second level championship.[2] On 11 February 2012 he scored his first goal in a 1–3 loss at CE Sabadell FC,[3] being relatively played during the season but suffering relegation – even though the side finished in 12th position – as the first team had also dropped down a level in La Liga.

In June 2012, Trigueros was definitely promoted to the main squad. He contributed with 36 games and three goals[4][5][6] in the first year after it befell, helping the Yellow Submarine return to where it had come from .[7]

Trigueros made his maiden appearance in the top flight on 19 August 2013, coming on as a 53rd-minute substitute for Tomás Pina in 3–2 success at UD Almería.[8] As a starter he scored his first goal in the competition, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win over CA Osasuna on 3 February 2014.[9]
