Club career

Born in Utrera, Seville, Andalusia, Matos was a Sevilla FC youth graduate. On 17 March 2013, aged only 17, he made his senior debut for the reserves by coming on as a late substitute in a 0–2 Segunda División B away loss against La Roda CF.
Despite being used sparingly, Matos was definitely promoted to the B-team only in the 2014–15 campaign. An undisputed starter, he appeared in 36 matches as his side narrowly avoided relegation.
On 1 May 2016, Matos made his first team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 0–1 loss at RCD Espanyol. He scored his first professional goal on 7 January 2018, in a 3–2 home defeat of Lorca FC for the Segunda División championship.
On 4 July 2018, free agent Matos signed a three-year contract with Cádiz CF in the second division. Roughly one year later, he extended his contract until 2022 and was loaned to Eredivisie side FC Twente for one year.
