Club career[edit]

Born in Madrid, Reguero started playing football with Real Madrid. After two seasons with the C team he was promoted to the main squad, but suffered a serious knee injury.[2] Subsequently released, he never played in higher than Segunda División B in his country, representing Villarreal CF B,[3] Orihuela CF, Alicante CF, Mazarrón CF, UD Lanzarote,[4] Racing de Ferrol[5] and CF Gandía.

In June 2012, aged 30, Reguero moved abroad for the first time, signing for Inverness Caledonian Thistle of the Scottish Premier League.[2] He made his league debut on 29 September, in a 4–0 win over Dundee United.[6]

Reguero signed a pre-contract with Kilmarnock in April 2013.[7] He left the club in the summer of 2014, having not played once during the season.

On 16 June 2014, Reguero joined Ross County.[8][9] He played his first competitive game on 10 August, in a 1–2 home loss to St Johnstone.[10]

On 27 December 2014, Reguero put on a Player of the match performance to help hold defending champions Celtic to a 0–0 draw at Celtic Park.[11] He was one of 14 players released by Ross County at the end of the campaign,[12] and in July 2015 he agreed to a one-year contract at Hibernian.[13]

Reguero left Hibs in January 2016, having only played for the first team in pre-season friendlies.[14] On 5 May, he signed a three-month contract with Veikkausliiga side Rovaniemen Palloseura.[15] On 28 October 2019, he joined Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi in the same league on a one-year deal.[16]
