Club career

Villarreal

González was born in Almuñécar, Province of Granada, Andalusia, spending his last four years as a youth with Atlético Madrid and Villarreal CF. He started his senior career in 2011, appearing regularly for the C-team in Tercera División and making his senior debut on 7 September in a 3–0 away win against UD Juventud Barrio del Cristo; he scored his first goals for the side on 15 January of the following year, netting a brace in a 5–0 home victory over Mislata CF.
On 3 February 2012, González was called up by the reserves for a Segunda División game against FC Barcelona B, but remained unused in the 0–0 home draw. He played his first match as a professional on 28 April, coming on as a substitute for Moi Gómez in the 62nd minute of a 1–0 win at CD Numancia.
González was definitely promoted to the B-team at the start of the 2012–13 campaign, now in Segunda División B. He played his first match with the main squad on 17 August 2012, replacing Cani in the 76th minute of an eventual 2–1 home victory against Real Madrid Castilla for the second level championship.
In 2013–14, González appeared in pre-season with the first team, but suffered a right knee injury which sidelined him for four months, which was followed by an inguinal hernia ailment. He was selected by main squad manager Marcelino García Toral for the last match of the season against Real Sociedad, but eventually did not make the final cut. He recovered for the final months of the following campaign, his first game with the B's occurring on 3 May 2015 as he played 24 minutes in a 4–2 away defeat of Elche CF Ilicitano; he scored in the third match after his recovery, helping to a 2–2 home draw to group champions Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
