Career

Born in Tudela, Navarre, Vallejo joined Real Zaragoza's youth categories in 2017, from CD Corellano. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 21 March 2021, starting in a 0–0 Tercera División away draw against SD Huesca B.

Vallejo scored his first senior goal on 14 November 2021, netting the B's second in a 3–0 Tercera División RFEF home win over Atlético Monzón, and was a regular starter for the side during the season as they achieved promotion to Segunda Federación. In April 2024, he suffered a knee injury during a match for the B-side.[1]

On 30 July 2024, Vallejo renewed his contract with the Maños.[2] He returned to action in January 2025,[3] and made his first team debut on 7 February of that year, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Adrián Liso in a 2–1 Segunda División away loss to Albacete Balompié.[4]

On 4 August 2025, Vallejo was loaned to Primera Federación side CD Eldense for one year.[5]
