Career

Born in Utrera, Seville, Spain, Delgado began his career with hometown side CD Utrera before joining Real Betis' youth sides in 2016.[1] In July 2021, after finishing his formation, he joined Córdoba CF's reserves in Tercera División RFEF.[2]

On 4 August 2023, Delgado returned to his first club Utrera also in the fifth division,[3] and scored 19 goals during the season. On 16 July 2024, he signed a three-year contract with Real Oviedo, being initially assigned to the B-team in the same category.[4]

Delgado was the top scorer of Vetusta's group in the 2024–25 campaign with 23 goals, as the side achieved promotion to Segunda Federación,[5] and scored a further 14 goals in just 17 matches the following season before moving out on loan to FC Barcelona Atlètic on 17 January 2026; his link with the Carbayones was still renewed for two further years prior to the move.[6] Upon returning in July, he was assigned to the first team in Segunda División.[7]

On 20 August 2026, however, Delgado moved to Primera Federación side Real Zaragoza on a three-year deal.[8]
