Club career
Born in A Coruña, Juan Carlos was a product of local Deportivo de La Coruña's youth system, and made his official debut with the first team on 7 September 2011, playing the full 90 minutes in a 5–1 home win against Girona FC in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[2] He scored 15 goals for the reserves in 2011–12 in the Tercera División.
On 3 June 2012, as Depor were already promoted to La Liga as champions, Juan Carlos made his league debut with the main squad, playing 28 minutes in a 1–0 Segunda División away victory over Villarreal CF B.[3] He continued to appear regularly for the B side, however.
On 14 January 2013, Juan Carlos was loaned to SD Huesca until June.[4] He scored his first professional goal later that month, opening the 2–1 away defeat of CD Numancia[5] but seeing the Aragonese club eventually suffer second-tier relegation.
Juan Carlos returned to the Galicians in July, being definitely promoted to the first team also in division two.[6] He played 27 matches and scored three goals during the season, as Deportivo returned to the top flight at the first attempt.[7]
On 2 April 2014, Juan Carlos was slapped by teammate Luisinho in the face following an argument in training.[8] On 26 January of the following year, after being rarely used during the campaign, he terminated his contract with Depor[9] and joined second-division side CD Tenerife hours later.[10]
After a two-year spell in the Romanian Liga I with CFR Cluj, Juan Carlos returned to Tenerife by signing a two-year deal.[11] On 27 July 2018, he moved to UD Almería also of the second tier on a one-year contract.[12]
On 31 July 2019, free agent Juan Carlos joined his former club Huesca on a two-year deal after their top-flight relegation.[13] In August 2021, having been without a contract for two months, he re-signed for two years.[14]
On 14 July 2023, Juan Carlos agreed to a three-year contract at FC Cartagena, still in division two.[15] On 17 August of the following year, he terminated his link with the club.[16]
