Football career

Early years / Las Palmas

Born in Puente Genil, Córdoba, Cejudo played youth football with Real Betis but only appeared officially with the B-side, competing with the side in both Segunda División B and Tercera División. Leaving in the 2007 summer, he joined AD Ceuta in the latter level, where he spent two seasons.[1]

In July 2009, Cejudo signed with UD Las Palmas from Segunda División.[2] He played his first game as a professional on 29 August, and scored in a 1–1 home draw against Real Sociedad,[3] finishing his first year with 34 matches and six goals to help the Canary Islands side narrowly avoid relegation.

Osasuna

Cejudo moved to La Liga with CA Osasuna in the 2011 January transfer window, agreeing to a €320,000 deal in order to replace Atlético Madrid-bound Juanfran.[4] He netted his first goal in the competition on 21 May, the game's only at home against Villarreal CF.[5]

Betis

On 11 August 2014, Cejudo returned to Betis after agreeing to a three-year deal.[6]
