Club career

[edit]

Villarreal

[edit]

Born in Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla la Vieja, Province of Burgos, Castile and León, González joined Villarreal CF's youth system in 2012.[1] On 30 August 2014, he made his senior debut for the C team, starting in a 3–1 home loss against CD Castellón in the Tercera División.

González scored his first senior goal on 5 October 2014, the third in a 4–0 home victory over FC Jove Español San Vicente. He added a brace against Orihuela CF on 14 December,[2] two more against Benigànim and Ontinyent CF in the following season,[3][4] and a hat-trick in a 6–1 rout of CD Acero on 28 November 2015.[5]

González made his first-team debut on 17 August 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Rafael Santos Borré in a 2–1 home loss to AS Monaco FC in the play-off round of the UEFA Champions League.[6] His first match in La Liga was three days later, when he replaced Alexandre Pato in the 1–1 draw at Granada CF.[7]

In July 2019, González signed a one-year deal with French Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot.[8] A year later, after exercising an option in his contract, he returned to Villarreal on a two-year deal.[9]

González went on loan to Portugal's C.D. Tondela in the summer of 2020.[10] He scored a career-best 15 times during his spell (ranking fourth in the Primeira Liga individual charts for the campaign), including three in 12 minutes in a 3–2 away win against Moreirense FC.[11][12]

Braga

[edit]

On 1 July 2021, González joined S.C. Braga of the same country and league on a four-year contract, for a reported €1.5 million.[13][14] The following 31 January, he returned to his home country after agreeing to a six-month loan with CD Tenerife.[15]

González was loaned to Belgian Pro League side Oud-Heverlee Leuven for 2022–23, with an option to buy.[16] Although he scored 15 goals in 24 appearances in all competitions, the clause was not exercised and he returned to the Estádio Municipal de Braga.[17]

Los Angeles FC

[edit]

On 22 July 2023, Braga sold González to Major League Soccer club Los Angeles FC for a reported fee of €2.3 million.[18][19] He scored his only goal on 26 August, in a 2–1 defeat at Charlotte FC.[20]

González returned to the Spanish Segunda División in January 2024, on a five-month loan at Sporting de Gijón.[21] On 2 August that year, also on loan, he joined F.C. Famalicão with a purchase option.[22]
