Born in Madrid, Rufo represented CD Coslada and CF Rayo Majadahonda as a youth, and made his senior debut with the latter's reserves during the 2005–06 season, in the regional leagues.

In 2012, after impressing in a friendly match, Rufo joined Stallion FC of Philippines' United Football League.[2] He moved to fellow league team Global FC in July 2013,[3] but his transfer was blocked by Stallion after his contract was disputed by his previous club.[4] He moved back to Internacional in November 2013,[5]
On 14 January 2014, Rufo switched teams and countries again after agreeing to a contract with Thai Premier League club PTT Rayong FC.[6] He made his debut for the club on 23 February, netting the opener in a 1–1 away draw against Singhtarua FC.[7]
Ahead of the 2015 season, Rufo moved to Songkhla United FC. On 18 January 2017, he returned to Spain and signed for Atlético Sanluqueño CF in Segunda División B.[8]
Rufo returned to Global Cebu on 1 August 2017,[4] but left the Philippines Football League club in May 2018.[9] In August, he returned to Internacional, with the club now in the third division.
In January 2020, Rufo moved to Pontevedra CF.[10]
