Club career

Born in Lebrija, Province of Seville, Cordero arrived at Sevilla FC's youth ranks at the age of 12 from local CA Antoniano. In 2006 he moved to Sevilla Atlético, helping Sevilla FC's reserves achieve promotion to the second division.
After 45 matches with Sevilla B in the following two seasons combined – suffering relegation in his second – and some call-ups to the first team, although he never appeared officially for the Andalusians, Cordero was loaned to another side in the third level, Real Madrid Castilla. In August 2010 he was transferred to Xerez CD, returning to his native region.
In his first season, Cordero was one of the most used players by manager Javi López, scoring five goals as Xerez easily retained its division status. He also collected 15 yellow cards.
Cordero signed for AEK Athens F.C. in the summer of 2012, going on to remain several years in Greece and help to two consecutive promotions to reach the Superleague after they were relegated twice in the same campaign due to irregularities. On 25 June 2016, however, as his contract was nearing its expiration, he was told by the board of directors to look for a new club.
On 30 August 2016, Cordero signed a one-year deal with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the Spanish second tier. After featuring sparingly, he moved to the third level with FC Cartagena the following 1 August.
