Club career[]

Born in Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla la Vieja, Province of Burgos, Castile and León, González joined Villarreal CF's youth system in 2012.[1] On 30 August 2014 he made his senior debut for the C team, starting in a 1–3 home loss against CD Castellón for the Tercera División.

González scored his first senior goal on 5 October 2014, the third in a 4–0 home victory over FC Jove Español. He added a brace against Orihuela CF on 14 December,[2] two more against UD Benigànim and Ontinyent CF in the following campaign,[3][4] and a hat-trick in a 6–1 rout of CD Acero on 28 November 2015.[5]

González made his first-team debut on 17 August 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Rafael Santos Borré in a 1–2 home loss to AS Monaco FC in the play-off round of the UEFA Champions League.[6] His first match in La Liga was three days later, when he replaced Alexandre Pato in the 1–1 draw at Granada CF.[7]

In July 2019, González was loaned to French Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot.[8] One year later, after exercising an option in his contract, he returned to Villarreal on a two-year deal.[9]

González went on loan to Portugal's C.D. Tondela in the summer of 2020.[10] He scored a career-best 15 times during his spell (ranking fourth in the Primeira Liga individual charts for the season), including three in 12 minutes in a 3–2 away win against Moreirense FC.[11][12]

On 1 July 2021, González signed a four-year contract at S.C. Braga of the same country and league.[13]
